A user wants to connect to a Windows instance using Remote Desktop, but the Ops team wants to encourage using Systems Manager features. Which statement is true?

• Session Manager supports port forwarding.  Map a local port to the RDP port on the instance and start a session.  The user can then use remote desktop

• Native RDP support was announced at re:Invent 2020.  You just have to enable it in the session properties so the user can view the desktop instead of the PowerShell prompt

• RDP is not supported by SSM. You must open port 3389 in the instance security group

• RDP is not supported by SSM. Use Apache Guacamole over port 80 instead
