Is there a way to get Heroku-like managed EC2 instance on AWS where upgrading to the latest system packages are done for me? Basically, I can still get a root-shell if I want, but otherwise, all the packages I needed for say running a Python web stack would all be automatically upgraded to the latest stable combination for me.
Does AWS currently offer such a service natively? I know I can use a 3rd party service provider that wraps around EC2 but I am specifically asking for the native support by AWS.
