AWS Managed Services (AMS) helps you to operate your cloud-based infrastructure more efficiently and securely by providing ongoing management of your Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure. To make a change to your managed environment, you need to create and submit a new request for change (RFC) that includes a change type (CT) ID for a particular operation or action.
However, manually creating an RFC can take around five minutes and teams in your organization might need to submit multiple RFCs every day. This pattern helps you to automate the RFC creation process, reduce the creation time for each RFC, and eliminate manual errors.
This pattern describes how to use Python code to automatically create the Stop EC2 instance RFC that stops Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances in your AMS account. You can then apply this pattern’s approach and the Python automation to other RFC types.
