# FedRAMP limitations and supported government cloud regions

Review Cortex XSIAM FedRAMP feature limitations and supported AWS GovCloud and Azure Government regions for federal deployments.

Cortex XSIAM FedRAMP Government deployments support specific cloud services and regions. Review these service limitations before onboarding federal cloud environments.

### FedRAMP service limitations

* **Unsupported features**: FedRAMP Government instances do not currently support these DSPM services:
  * AWS: RDS/Aurora scanning
  * DBaaS: Snowflake, Databricks
  * Microsoft 365
  * Azure: All services (**this is not supported for both DSPM and AISPM services**)
* **Environmental restrictions**: Multi-tenant or MSSP environments are not currently supported by FedRAMP.
* **Permitted capabilities**: Other capabilities, such as registry scanning, serverless scanning, and agentless disk scanning, are allowed.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsiam/onboard-cortex-xsiam/deployment-steps/fedramp-overview/limitations-and-supported-regions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
