How to RDP and run commands in Windows EC2 Instance using boto3?

Question

I would like to RDP into an Windows EC2 instance, and run some powershell commands on it. How do I do it in boto3? For example: I need to create Windows user and Password in Windows EC2 Instance using Boto3 or Python Script. Is this possible?

Boto3 SDK is only to manage AWS services, if you are looking for managing windows remotely from python try pywinrm library. WinRM is a windows remote management tool to invoke windows commands remotely. Documentation for pywinrm can be found in the following link.https://pypi.org/project/pywinrm/0.2.2/

You can also consider AWS systems manager:

Yes. The "correct" way to do this in AWS is to use AWS Systems Manager Run Command to run a command on an Amazon EC2 instance, or even a whole fleet of instances.
