Company scorecard

Compare companies ↗

Company summary of documented Mac-service commitments. Reference plans and category differences remain explicit. Not an entitlement guarantee for every offer; no price, hardware value, benchmark or identity bonus.

6/6 categories scored · 0/6 with sufficient current evidence · 0/19 underlying criteria resolved · Oldest evidence Sep 21, 2026 · Recheck by Oct 21, 2026. Coverage is not a quality score.

0/3 No evidence · 1/3 Bad · 2/3 Good · 3/3 Excellent. These are our rubric ratings of documented commitments. A zero means insufficient supported evidence, not proven poor service.

Amazon Web Services / AmazonUS parent / product · US listing eligible

The AWS contracting party varies by account jurisdiction.

Identity source ↗ · Listing policy & limits ↗
SLA protections0/3 · No evidence

No sufficient current, consistent evidence for every required criterion. Missing or disputed findings receive 0; this does not establish that the service is bad.

Dedicated Macs · 0/3 · No evidence

Evidence scope: On-Demand EC2 Mac Dedicated Host · Basic Support (no paid support add-on) · Needs review

Availability commitment & remedy 0/3 · No evidence

The Compute SLA defines a 99.5% single-EC2-instance commitment, exclusions and a credit claim procedure. The 99.99% multi-AZ commitment is not attributed to a single Mac. Credits remain subject to the SLA eligible-charge terms; this is not a promise to refund the full host bill.

Support0/3 · No evidence

No sufficient current, consistent evidence for every required criterion. Missing or disputed findings receive 0; this does not establish that the service is bad.

Dedicated Macs · 0/3 · No evidence

Evidence scope: On-Demand EC2 Mac Dedicated Host · Basic Support (no paid support add-on) · Needs review

Incident response & escalation 0/3 · No evidence

Basic Support explicitly excludes technical support cases. Paid Business/Enterprise response commitments do not apply to this reference plan.

Support access 0/3 · No evidence

Basic includes account/billing assistance and self-service resources, but technical incident support requires a paid plan.

Security controls0/3 · No evidence

No sufficient current, consistent evidence for every required criterion. Missing or disputed findings receive 0; this does not establish that the service is bad.

Dedicated Macs · 0/3 · No evidence

Evidence scope: On-Demand EC2 Mac Dedicated Host · Basic Support (no paid support add-on) · Needs review

Account & team access 0/3 · No evidence

AWS documents MFA, scoped IAM roles and least-privilege access policies; customers configure these account controls.

Isolation & credentials 0/3 · No evidence

EC2 Mac uses a dedicated physical host with one Mac instance. Customers manage access credentials and EBS encryption; FileVault is explicitly unsuitable.

Security documentation 0/3 · No evidence

AWS publishes shared security responsibilities and contractual data-processing/privacy terms. This review does not independently validate compliance certifications.

Data lifecycle0/3 · No evidence

No sufficient current, consistent evidence for every required criterion. Missing or disputed findings receive 0; this does not establish that the service is bad.

Dedicated Macs · 0/3 · No evidence

Evidence scope: On-Demand EC2 Mac Dedicated Host · Basic Support (no paid support add-on) · Needs review

Data lifecycle 0/3 · No evidence

The customer agreement assigns security and backup responsibility to the customer; retained EBS data is separate from physical-host scrubbing. Stopping/terminating triggers documented internal-disk and NVRAM scrubbing. EBS volumes/snapshots and customer backups have separate lifecycles and remain the customer’s responsibility.

Workflow0/3 · No evidence

No sufficient current, consistent evidence for every required criterion. Missing or disputed findings receive 0; this does not establish that the service is bad.

Dedicated Macs · 0/3 · No evidence

Evidence scope: On-Demand EC2 Mac Dedicated Host · Basic Support (no paid support add-on) · Needs review

Provision & release 0/3 · No evidence

ReleaseHosts stops On-Demand host billing after all instances are stopped/terminated and the Mac minimum is met. AWS documents CLI host allocation, Mac instance launch and status checks; host release uses the EC2 API after minimum allocation and teardown requirements.

SSH & administrator access 0/3 · No evidence

Documented SSH login with customer keys and sudo privileges; direct root SSH is disabled by default.

Remote desktop 0/3 · No evidence

AWS supplies Screen Sharing setup and SSH-tunnel instructions for graphical access.

OS recovery & images 0/3 · No evidence

Customers can create replacement Mac instances from selectable macOS AMIs on their host. Host scrub and image/firmware compatibility constraints apply.

Power & network administration 0/3 · No evidence

Security groups govern SSH/network access; lifecycle operations use the EC2 control plane. The Mac launch workflow configures customer security groups; customers control instance lifecycle through EC2 operations.

Self-hosted CI guidance 0/3 · No evidence

AWS documents a customer-operated CI integration using third-party Anka. The example targets Intel Mac instances and leaves the CI coordinator integration to third-party instructions; it is not a managed runner entitlement for every Mac model.

Billing clarity0/3 · No evidence

No sufficient current, consistent evidence for every required criterion. Missing or disputed findings receive 0; this does not establish that the service is bad.

Dedicated Macs · 0/3 · No evidence

Evidence scope: On-Demand EC2 Mac Dedicated Host · Basic Support (no paid support add-on) · Needs review

Complete charge structure 0/3 · No evidence

Mac pricing is per allocated host with a 24-hour minimum; EBS, networking and other AWS services are separate published charges.

Cancellation & billing stop 0/3 · No evidence

On-Demand host billing stops on release. A stopped instance alone does not release the allocated host; the 24-hour minimum remains.

Entitlements & purchase terms 0/3 · No evidence

AWS account/payment terms define usage charges and responsibility for associated services. Basic Support is included; paid support and other service charges are separate. Basic Support is included; premium support tiers have their own published prices and are not included in the Mac host rate.

0–3 grades use fixed rules, never price or hardware value. Missing required evidence receives 0; otherwise the weakest criterion and service scope set the grade. No overall average. Read the rubric ↗

Research notes & open questions

Region-specific On-Demand/Savings Plan quotes, EBS/network charges and current host stock require further source collection. Specific macOS AMI compatibility is not inferred across all hardware. Uploaded assessment research (2026-09-21): DEDICATED: submitted research reports 19/19 checklist items resolved. Its proposed score agrees with the existing criterion-backed MCI assessment.
