Self-service reports - AMS Accelerate User Guide

Self-service reports

AWS Managed Services (AMS) Self-Service Reporting (SSR) collects data from various native AWS services and provides access to reports on major AMS offerings. SSR provides the information that you can use to support operations, configuration management, asset management, security management, and compliance.

Use SSR to access the reports from the AMS console and report datasets through Amazon S3 buckets (one bucket per account). You can plug the data into your favorite Business Intelligence (BI) tool to customize the reports based on your unique needs. AMS creates this S3 bucket (s3 bucket name: (ams-reporting-data-a<Account_ID>) in your primary AWS Region, and the data is shared from the AMS control plane hosted in the us-east-1 Region.
