Explanation

Agentless Management Service (AMS) Agentless Management Service is a lightweight service that collects OS based management information and provides this information to iLO. Typically it collects server inventory information on installed applications and processes running, system name, IP address, OS installed and some NIC information that iLO has no access to. It runs in the OS context, but it is not an agent in the traditional sense. On Gen8 servers, iLO provides a significant amount of platform management information without an OS based agent. AMS will provide iLO with a richer data set that is OS specific. The information that AMS provides to iLO is a very small subset of the data that the traditional SNMP agents provided, therefore AMS is a very lightweight component. AMS consumes less memory and CPU compared to the in- band SNMP agents. Also, AMS has no network connections, therefore there are no security risks as there is no SNMP stack running in the OS context.
