Whenever I've needed AWS support it was just as aweful as GCP. For example, 12 hour Aurora outage, support was only replying a generic "waiting for engineering team" answer, SLA only refund about $15 although we ended up paying for all the replicas we tried to spin up from backups and wouldn't start. Architect and account manager didn't give a damn about our issue.



The way to get good support from AWS and Google is the same: find someone on your team who is ex-[AMZN|GOOG] and get them to email their buds.


Or, if you purchase consulting hours from any of the major firms, get ahold of their sales team and have them run the ladder for you. A GTM partner is generally more than happy to leverage their firm's relationship with the public cloud providers in the service of their relationship with you.
