Providing 3rd Party Software Support enables customers to work directly with Premium Support on questions related to the customers' Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance operating systems as well as the configuration and performance of the most popular 3rd Party Software components on AWS. This support covers most widely used operating systems, including Windows, Ubuntu Linux, Red Hat Linux, Novell’s SuSE Linux, and Amazon Linux, as well as systems software including Apache, IIS, Amazon SDKs, FTP, Sendmail, and Postfix. AWS support engineers will now be available to address common problems that derail customers in the setup, configuration, and troubleshooting of their infrastructure components.

AWS Trusted Advisor - Beta

The AWS Trusted Advisor program monitors AWS infrastructure services, identifies customer configurations, compares them to known best practices, and then notifies customers where opportunities may exist to save money, improve system performance, or close security gaps.

The AWS Trusted Advisor feature checks are communicated with customers via proactive cases, regularly scheduled reports, and through direct interaction with our engineers. The list of best practices available with AWS Trusted Advisor is continuously updated and expanded with the latest learnings.
