How do I know if I should become a manager?

I am a software engineer in Amazon (L5). I have 10 years of experience in total and 2 in amzn. My question is how do I know whether I'll be a good manager and whether I should go for it. I see this question as a serious career choice and if I don't do well as a manager I eighter waste time that I could spend on working towards my promotion or just get frustrated. On the other hand what if I do great? I'm confused. I'm in darkness without a flashlight. I'm a lost soul.... Ok you got it :)
