They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner. The goal would be to transform it into a live documentation resource that we frequently rely on when encountering errors. Currently, when we run into issues, our first instinct is to perform a Google search to find relevant information. It might be more efficient if we could align our documentation with specific sections or categories, such as error types or network-related topics which would ultimately lead to better issue detection and resolution.
I would like to see AWS add some UTM features to the firewall. It would also be great if AWS Firewall had native IPS/IDS. They have the separate IPS/IDS, GuardDuty.

The system should be more customizable.

AWS Firewall Manager could provide more automation. It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient.

My experience has been with small-scale infrastructure and it works very well.
