"One of the issues I'm facing is that my RDS SQL Server version 5.8 is reaching its end of life, and I need to upgrade it to a customer-wanted version. I want to do this on Graviton instances, but Graviton only starts with version 8.0 and currently doesn't support the 5.8 series. We've raised a Priority Feature Request (PFR) with AWS to have this functionality added for at least three months. This would give us enough time to upgrade our database to the 8.0 version without any issues."
"They have a low code platform, but it is for intervention."
"Some of their well-listed services are not super configurable."
"The AWS documentation is written in a way that is not very intuitive. That's an area they can improve."
"Our account representative was inexperienced, they could improve on how they are managing accounts."
