What are we trying to convey with this messaging? I'm concerned this communicates that there are hosting equivalents for each of these selections in Gen2 - when in fact Gen2 doesn't offer anything except full CI/CD deployments...

I think this needs some more thought. Lets discuss offline.

I don't see the user being confused here since amplify add hosting is a command exclusive to Gen1, as are the prompts mentioned after it. By saying it is untested, or unsupported, or supported, the claim is not that Gen2 supports this. The claim is about our handling of it.

Example in point - dynamodb. By claiming we are supporting dynamodb does not claim that Gen2 supports it.

I am open to editing the feature coverage preface by making this explicit that the following section highlights what we handle during migration and does not make any claims regarding Gen2 native support. Just that this applies to every command and option mentioned in this section.

But it does support, via CDK. Thats kind of the point - marking it as "supported" means that we provide a way for you to get the same functionality in Gen2. With hosting its not like that.

I am open to editing the feature coverage preface by making this explicit.

What did you have in mind?
