CREATING SUPPORT CASES AND CASE MANAGEMENT

PDFRSS

In the AWS Management Console, you can create three types of customer cases in
AWS Support:

 * Account and billing support cases are available to all AWS customers. You can
   get help with billing and account questions.

 * Service limit increase requests are available to all AWS customers. For more
   information about the default service quotas, formerly referred to as limits,
   see AWS service quotas in the AWS General Reference.

 * Technical support cases connect you to technical support for help with
   service-related technical issues and, in some cases, third-party
   applications. If you have Basic Support, you can't create a technical support
   case.
   
   NOTES
   
    * To change your support plan, see Changing AWS Support Plans.
   
    * To close your account, see Closing an Account in the AWS Billing User
      Guide.
   
    * To find common troubleshooting topics for AWS services, see
      Troubleshooting resources.
   
    * If you're a customer of an AWS Partner that is part of the AWS Partner
      Network, and you use Resold Support, contact your AWS Partner directly for
      any billing related issues. AWS Support can't assist with non-technical
      issues for Resold Support, such as billing and account management. For
      more information, see the following topics:
      
       * How AWS Partners can determine AWS Support plans in an organization
      
       * AWS Partner-Led Support


CREATING A SUPPORT CASE


You can create a support case in the Support Center of the AWS Management
Console.

NOTES

 * You can sign in to Support Center as the root user of your AWS account or as
   an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user. For more information, see
   Manage access to AWS Support Center.

 * If you can't sign in to Support Center and create a support case, you can use
   the Contact Us page instead. You can use this page to get help with billing
   and account issues.

TO CREATE A SUPPORT CASE

 1.  Sign in to the AWS Support Center Console.
     
     TIP
     
     In the AWS Management Console, you can also choose the question mark icon (
     ) and then choose Support Center.

 2.  Choose Create case.

 3.  Choose one of the following options:
     
      * Account and billing
     
      * Technical
     
      * For service quota increases, choose Looking for service limit increases?
        and then follow the instructions for Creating a service quota increase.

 4.  Choose the Service, Category, and Severity.
     
     TIP
     
     You can use the recommended solutions that appear for commonly asked
     questions.

 5.  Choose Next step: Additional information

 6.  On the Additional information page, for Subject, enter a title about your
     issue.

 7.  For Description, follow the prompts to describe your case, such as the
     following:
     
      * Error messages that you received
     
      * Troubleshooting steps that you followed
     
      * How you're accessing the service:
        
         * AWS Management Console
        
         * AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI)
        
         * API operations

 8.  (Optional) Choose Attach files to add any relevant files to your case, such
     as error logs or screenshots. You can attach up to three files. Each file
     can be up to 5 MB.

 9.  Choose Next step: Solve now or contact us.

 10. On the Contact us page, choose your preferred language.

 11. Choose your preferred contact method. You can choose one of the following
     options:
     
     1. Web – Receive a reply in Support Center.
     
     2. Chat – Start a live chat with a support agent. If you can't connect to a
        chat, see Troubleshooting.
     
     3. Phone – Receive a phone call from a support agent. If you choose this
        option, enter the following information:
        
         * Country or region
        
         * Phone number
        
         * (Optional) Extension
     
     NOTES
     
      * The contact options that appear depend on the type of case and your
        support plan.
     
      * You can choose Discard draft to clear your support case draft.

 12. (Optional) If you have a Business, Enterprise On-Ramp, or Enterprise
     Support plan, the Additional contacts option appears. You can enter the
     email addresses of people to notify when the status of the case changes. If
     you're signed in as an IAM user, include your email address. If you're
     signed in with your root account email address and password, you don't need
     to include your email address
     
     NOTE
     
     If you have the Basic Support plan, the Additional contacts option isn't
     available. However, the Operations contact specified in the Alternate
     Contacts section of the My Account page receives copies of the case
     correspondence, but only for the specific case types of account and
     billing, and technical.

 13. Review your case details and then choose Submit. Your case ID number and
     summary appear.


DESCRIBING YOUR PROBLEM


Make your description as detailed as possible. Include relevant resource
information, along with anything else that might help us understand your issue.
For example, to troubleshoot performance, include timestamps and logs. For
feature requests or general guidance questions, include a description of your
environment and purpose. In all cases, follow the Description Guidance that
appears on your case submission form.

When you provide as much detail as possible, you increase the chances that your
case can be resolved quickly.


CHOOSING A SEVERITY


You might be inclined to always create a support case at the highest severity
that your support plan allows. However, we recommend that you choose the highest
severities for cases that can't be worked around or that directly affect
production applications. For information about building your services so that
losing single resources doesn't affect your applications, see the Building
Fault-Tolerant Applications on AWS technical paper.

The following table lists the severity levels, response times, and example
problems.

NOTES

 * You can't change the severity code for a support case after you create one.
   If your situation changes, work with the AWS Support agent for your support
   case.

 * For more information about the severity level, see the AWS Support API
   Reference.

indicated timeframe. For information about the scope of support for each AWS
Support plan, see AWS Support features.

If you have a Business, Enterprise On-Ramp, or Enterprise Support plan, you have
24/7 access for technical support. *For Developer Support, response targets for
