I came across Amazon Managed Services (AMS) while studying for an exam, and it seems more like an adoption framework than a straightforward service. Can someone explain what AMS actually does and what kind of operations it involves?

In our experience, we used both AMS and AWS Professional Services for a huge migration project. The AMS handled basic tasks like patching and schedule management for older systems that we migrated. It wasn't cheap, but definitely useful when implemented correctly.
It's mainly about having DevOps engineers take care of tasks like lifecycle events, updates, and any necessary restarts. It’s similar to having an outsourced Network Operations Center (NOC) that keeps everything running smoothly.
AMS is basically Amazon's way of handling your cloud operations. Think of it like hiring a vendor to take care of everything from incident monitoring to daily managing of your cloud environment. It's designed to make your life easier by managing the operational side for you.
A very expensive MSP, that is! Got it.
