AMS CTs always have two approval conditions, AwsApprovalId and CustomerApprovalId that indicate whether the RFC requires AMS or you, or anyone, to approve the execution.
The approval condition is somewhat related to the execution mode; for details, see Automated and manual CTs.
To find out the approval condition for a CT, you can look in the
AMS Change Type Reference, or run
GetChangeTypeVersion. Both will also give you the CT AutomationStatusId or
Execution mode.
You can approve RFCs by using the AMS console or with the following command:
aws amscm approve-rfc --rfc-idRFC_ID
