With EC2 Instance Connect Endpoint(EIC), this ask has been quite simpler, here is detailed step by step guide in this blog post. Definitely session manager is also an option.
Hello.
How about using Systems Manager's Session Manager instead of SSH?
If your OS can use Session Manager, you can use it by setting up an IAM role on EC2.

Other methods, such as EC2 Instance Connect Endpoint, make it possible to use EC2 without worrying about its public IP address.

Thanks...I'll look in to Session Manager. I basically want to be able to easily pop in and out of instances all day with the least amount of hassle.
