Policy: AWS > Well-Architected Tool > AWS Well-Architected Framework > Security > SEC 06. How do you protect your compute resources? > Enable people to perform actions at a distance

Removing the ability for interactive access reduces the risk of human error, and the potential for manual configuration or management. For example, use a change management workflow to deploy EC2 instances using infrastructure as code, then manage EC2 instances using tools instead of allowing direct access or a bastion host.

See Enable people to perform actions at a distance for more information.
