Remotely get Windows service status from AWS EC2 instance

I am not sure if this is possible but I am having some trouble finding relevant info online. I was hoping to write a Powershell script that would return me the status of particular Windows services running on Windows EC2 instances on AWS.

Is there a way to get the status of Windows Services on EC2 Windows machines through the command line? From what I have found the only way to get the status of a Windows service running on a Windows EC2 instance is to manually login through the AWS console and login via RDP.

I was hoping to be able to just run a PowerShell script to return me this information via the command line for a set of Windows instances we have in EC2 but I am not sure if that is possible. I think if these had been Linux boxes it would have been easier using ssh or something to that effect.

Thanks

You can achieve this by using SSM RunCommand with the AWS-RunPowerShellScript document against the EC2 instances. This way, you won't need to login inside the instances.
