AWS Managed Services (AMS) Developer mode uses elevated permissions in AMS Advanced Plus and Premium accounts to provision and update AWS resources outside of the AMS Advanced change management process. AMS Advanced Developer mode does this by leveraging native AWS API calls within the AMS Advanced Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), enabling you to design and implement infrastructure and applications in your managed environment.
When using an account that has Developer mode enabled, continuity management, patch management, and change management are provided for resources provisioned through the AMS Advanced change management process or by using an AMS Amazon Machine Image (AMI). However, these AMS management features are not offered for resources provisioned through native AWS APIs.
You are responsible for monitoring infrastructure resources that are provisioned outside of the AMS Advanced change management process. Developer mode is compatible with both production and non-production workloads. With elevated permissions, you have an increased responsibility to ensure adherence to internal controls.
Important
Resources that you create using Developer mode can be managed by AMS Advanced only if they are created using AMS Advanced change management processes.
Developer mode is one of the AMS Advanced modes you can employ. For more information, see Modes overview.
