Description
Instead of requiring users to manually log in and modify the Ubuntu password, we could use SecretsManager/SSM SecureString to generate and store the secret and allow users to resolve the password outside of the VPC automatically using the aws cli or boto3.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating where the Ubuntu password is currently created or configured and how AWS resources are provisioned; then review the SecretsManager and SSM SecureString interfaces. Done means the password is generated and stored securely, users can resolve it outside the VPC with the AWS CLI or boto3, and manual login changes are no longer required.
