Application accounts that are fully managed by AMS are referred to as AMS-managed application accounts, where some or all operational tasks, like service request management, incident management, security management, continuity management (backup), patch management, cost-optimization, or monitoring and event management of infrastructure, are performed by AMS.
The amount of tasks performed by AMS depends on the Change Management mode that you select. AMS-managed accounts support different modes for change management:
For more information about change management and different modes, see Change management modes.
There are some AWS services that you can use in your AMS-managed account without AMS management. The list of these AWS services and how to add them into your AMS account are described in the Self-service provisioning section.
