AWS Business Level Support

All customers are strongly encouraged to enroll in AWS's Business Level Support offering for accounts with production workloads, which adds an additional 10% to a customer's bill.

When contacting AWS support, please include your name, AWS account name, AWS account number, AWS service, AWS region, problem severity, problem description, and contact information.
To determine the level of support associated with your account, AWS - Sign In to the AWS Management Console  and open the Support Center Console. The support plan associated with your account will be listed as either Business Support Plan or Basic Support Plan.

AWS Basic Support

If you do not choose AWS Business-level support you still have access to Basic support at no cost.  That support is very limited, and customers on Basic Level Support can generally only submit billing or quota requests . When creating an AWS case, please include your name, AWS account name, AWS account number, AWS service, AWS region, problem severity, problem description, and contact information.
All AWS users have access to the Amazon's AWS Discussion Forums.
