Use AMS Self-Service Provisioning (SSP) mode to access Amazon Simple Workflow Service (Amazon SWF) capabilities directly in your AMS managed account. Amazon Simple Workflow Service helps developers build, run, and scale background jobs that have parallel or
sequential steps. You can think of Amazon SWF as a fully-managed state tracker and task
coordinator in the Cloud. If your application's steps take more than 500 milliseconds to complete,
you need to track the state of processing, or you need to recover or retry if a task fails,
Amazon SWF can help you.
