I got bitten recently by AWS documentation. Several pages strongly imply something to be true, which in practise was 100% false. If I'd wanted to make a living reading text between the lines to work out how they're trying to fuck me, I'd have gone into law.

Also their docs suck at saying the limitations of their services explicitly in a transparent way.

Please do give feedback if you see anything inaccurate on the documentation. I've submitted feedback many times and they would sometimes reply to my email that they have updated the documentation.

I've opened pull requests that haven't been touched by AWS for ~9 months (comments or other). Been told (through a back channel) that the team didn't have the capacity to review all the PRs.

So "it depends"
