Amazon EC2 now offers settings to control whether resources provisioned by managed instance services, like Amazon EKS and Lambda, are visible in EC2 console listings and API responses. Managed resources, typically configured and maintained by AWS, were previously shown alongside customer-managed ones.
With this update, new managed resources are hidden by default in views such as the EC2 console and describe-instances API, aligning visibility with shared responsibility principles. Users can configure these visibility preferences through the console or CLI, improving resource management clarity and operational focus.
