What we do, what we do not do - AMS Advanced Onboarding Guide

What we do, what we do not do

AMS gives you a standardized approach to deploying AWS infrastructure and provides the necessary ongoing operational management. For a full description of roles, responsibilities, and supported services, see Service Description.

Note

To request that AMS provide an additional AWS service, file a service request. For more information, see Making Service Requests.

  • What we do:

    After you complete onboarding, the AMS environment is available to receive requests for change (RFCs), incidents, and service requests. Your interaction with the AMS service revolves around the lifecycle of an application stack. New stacks are ordered from a preconfigured list of templates, launched into specific virtual private cloud (VPC) subnets, modified during their operational life through requests for change (RFCs), and monitored for events and incidents 24/7.

    Active application stacks are monitored and maintained by AMS, including patching, and require no further action for the life of the stack unless a change is required or the stack is decommissioned. Incidents detected by AMS that affect the health and function of the stack generate a notification and may or may not need your action to resolve or verify. How-to questions and other inquiries can be made by submitting a service request.

    Additionally, AMS allows you to enable compatible AWS services that are not managed by AMS. For information about AWS-AMS compatible services, see Self-service provisioning mode.

     

  • What we DON'T do:

    While AMS simplifies application deployment by providing a number of manual and automated options, you're responsible for the development, testing, updating, and management of your application. AMS provides troubleshooting assistance for infrastructure issues that impact applications, but AMS can't access or validate your application configurations.
