Custom BIOS Management

under review

Customers would like to have additional visibility and management capabilities of BIOS-enabled features, e.g SR-IOV, SGX, etc. Ideally a customer should be able to manage their BIOS settings through the API, Customer Console, or metadata service.

planned / on deck

We've received a variety of requests to allow customers to manage different BIOS settings. The goal is to create a feature that allows customers to manage as many of their BIOS settings as possible through the API, Customer Console, or metadata service. Stay tuned.

Improved SR-IOV Support

Zachary Smith

SR-IOV is enabled by default on all n3.xlarge servers. However, customers would like to have additional visibility (through the API or metadata service) to be able to take full advantage of this capability, as well as similar BIOS-enabled features.
