Capabilities for unsupported operating systems in AMS

An unsupported operating system is any operating system not listed in the Supported configurations. AMS considers instances with unsupported operating systems to be "Customer-Requested Configurations" that are subject to the AWS Betas and Previews service terms.

The following limited set of AMS capabilities are available to instances with unsupported operating systems:

Capability	Notes
Incident management	AMS provides incident response.
Service request management	AMS responds to service requests.
Requests for change (RFCs)	AMS evaluates RFCs for execution. Unsupported operating systems may impact the ability to execute RFCs.

System status checks include: loss of network connectivity, loss of system power, software issues on the physical host, and hardware issues on the physical host that impact network reachability. Instance status checks include: incorrect networking or startup configuration, exhausted memory, corrupted file system, and incompatible kernel.
