• Complexity
  Users who are not familiar with AWS ecosystem might find the initial setup and configuration a bit complex.
• Limited Offline Support
  As a cloud-based service, there might be limited capabilities to operate in completely offline or air-gapped environments.
• Region Availability
  Might not be available in all AWS regions, which can be a limitation for organizations operating in specific geographical areas.
