**To retrieve the current snapshot for the patch baseline an instance uses**

This example displays the current snapshot for patch baseline used by Instance ``i-0cb2b964d3e14fd9f``. This command must be run from Instance ``i-0cb2b964d3e14fd9f`` using the instance credentials. To ensure it uses the instance credentials, run ``aws configure`` and only specify the region of your instance but leave the other fields blank.

Use ``uuidgen`` to generate a ``snapshot-id``.

Command::

  aws ssm get-deployable-patch-snapshot-for-instance --instance-id "i-0cb2b964d3e14fd9f" --snapshot-id "4681775b-098f-4435-a956-0ef33373ac11"
