Frequently asked questions
What do AWS managed services include? +
Core services: 24/7 monitoring and incident response, patch management, security operations, backup and disaster recovery, cost optimization, and performance tuning. Advanced tiers add application management, DevOps support, and architecture reviews.
How much do AWS managed services cost? +
Typical monthly fees: Basic monitoring $5K-$15K/mo, standard managed services $15K-$30K/mo, enterprise full-stack $30K-$100K+/mo. Many providers price as a percentage of AWS spend (15-25%). Minimum commitments are usually 12 months.
What's the difference between AWS managed services and an MSP? +
AWS Managed Services (AMS) is Amazon's own service for operating AWS at scale. Third-party MSPs (Managed Service Providers) like Rackspace, 2nd Watch, and Cloudticity offer similar capabilities with more flexibility, multi-cloud support, and often better pricing for mid-market organizations.
Do I need an AWS MSP Competency partner? +
The AWS MSP Competency validates that a partner meets operational standards for managing AWS environments. For production workloads, this matters — it means validated processes for incident management, patching, and security. For dev/test environments, requirements are less strict.
