Setting Up AWS Managed Services
When your organization opts for AMS, a systems integration partner will reach you to gather relevant data regarding your present network infrastructure and access your app needs.
This data enables the Amazon Web Services team to create your account with the needed resources and Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). Then, you can begin working with the partners and the AWS team for the deployment and migration of your apps to the cloud.
If you wish for modifications or need the AWS team to respond to events, you can raise an RFC through the CLI or API console.
After these processes, you can order a new app stack from a pre-made template inventory designed for managing AWS virtual private clouds and handled by the AWS teams while responding to an event or a Request For Change (RFC).
Roles Associated with AWS Managed Services
When you opt for AMS, you will communicate with three tiers of AWS staff with defined roles.
1: BDMs or Business Development Managers

2: TDMs or Technical Delivery Managers
A technical delivery manager works for onboarding and transition after signing contracts. After that, technical delivery managers create a network of partners, customer service representatives, and engineers.
They further review operational frameworks and workloads, supervise site recognition workshops, and outline the application migration process.
3: CSDMs or Cloud Service Delivery Managers
After completing the migration process, you’ll get assigned a cloud service delivery manager who will look after the relationship between Amazon Web Services and your organization and ensure that you’re getting the services seamlessly.
