Learn the basics of Amazon Web Services Support with an Amazon SDK

The following code examples show how to:

  • Get and display available services and severity levels for cases.

  • Create a support case using a selected service, category, and severity level.

  • Get and display a list of open cases for the current day.

  • Add an attachment set and a communication to the new case.

  • Describe the new attachment and communication for the case.

  • Resolve the case.

  • Get and display a list of resolved cases for the current day.
