+Limitations
+===========
+
+Although the external Instances behave a lot like CloudStack managed
+Instances in many ways, there are some limitations. Some of these
+limitations are due to the framework itself, while others can be addressed
+by adding custom actions in the scripts written for the built-in extensions.
+
+**Some general features/actions not supported at the framework level:**
+
+ - Console access to the external Instances.
+
+ - Data volumes.
+
+ - User Data and Metadata services.
+
+ - SSH key injection.
+
+ - Affinity Groups.
+
+ - Migrate Instance.
+
+ - Host Capacity and Utilization Stats.
+
+ - Add Nics to Instance post deployment.
+
+**Actions which can be implemented using Custom Actions in built-in
extensions:**
+
+ - Reinstall Instance.
+
+ - Backup and Restore.
+
+ - Recurring Snapshots.
+
+ - Change Service Offering.
+
+ - Resize Volume.
+
+ - Attach ISO.
