Amazon Web Services has plenty of weaknesses which competition can take advantage of. We all know that AWS is a giant and it is the largest provider of cloud services in the world. Despite the fact that AWS has all the necessary components to become a market leader, it has got several drawbacks as well. There are plenty of other competitors in the industry that offer excellent managed hosting services at rock-bottom prices. Also, getting an AWS certification is not that easy. AWS requires you to pass exams for each service. The AWS Solutions Architect Associate exam alone costs $150.
