ABOUT US

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is carrying on that tradition while leading the world in cloud technologies.
AWS Global Services includes experts from across AWS who help our customers design, build, operate, and secure their cloud environments.

We achieve these objectives by working closely with customers to develop runbooks and response plans customized to the context of each workload onboarded to the service. Onboarded workloads are monitored 24x7 by a team of Incident Management Engineers (IMEs) to detect and engage customers on a call bridge within 5 minutes of a critical alarm.
