What works

Each part of the service, checked from Syria.

Core useFailsUnchanged since:

Deploying an app failed from Syria: both the "Deploy an app" button on the product page and the "Deploy to AWS" step in the quickstart opened the AWS Console on a 400 "Access Restricted" page saying AWS does not provide services in the user's country or region.

Landing pageWorksUnchanged since:

The AWS Amplify product page, its pricing page and the Amplify documentation all opened normally from Syria.

Sign-upFailsUnchanged since:

Creating an AWS account to use Amplify failed from Syria: "Get started for free" on the pricing page led to the AWS sign-up portal, which showed a "Website Temporarily Unavailable" page instead of the registration form.
