  • A little difficult to understand in the configuration, very difficult to think of doing it yourself without a thorough study of the instrument.

  • Some time the Config Rules are hard to comprehend and arrange. They could be made simple or have GUI to arrange them.

  • It is a bit more difficult than using other cloud products.

  • Since most of the commands are unaware it takes time for new users to get used to it.

"Best Tool for Deep Learning"

Pros: As a product manager, my AWS Config journey is makes me better to understand my product and its working environment. Helped me to learned metadata structure, configurations and relationships over events.

Cons: Learning curve is huge if you are not a technical user. Documentation really helps but also you gonna need an engineer to walkthrough with you. Simplified version for non-tech users should be handy.
