Hi @jtirrell-amazon, can you elaborate on what the issue is that you're reporting? I do see: 'ResourceType': 'ManagedInstance'|'Document'|'EC2Instance', in the Response Syntax under InstanceInformationList'.

If you're not getting the expected results then we recommend updating to the latest version of Boto3. Here is the CHANGELOG with a list of versions.

When would DescribeInstanceInformation return a 'Document' for ResourceType?

Thanks for following up — Document is actually not a valid ResourceType. This actually came up here in another issue from a while back: #3027. As mentioned in the cross-SDK issue I opened (aws/aws-sdk#130) Document was removed as a valid value.

But the Response Syntax examples are auto-generated, so the SSM team would need to remove Document here in their model definition (which is shared across SDKs). I'll reopen that cross-SDK issue for tracking and see if the SSM team will fix this.
