Everything in awsx is a wrapper around the equivalent aws resources, with opinionated defaults, simpler APIs, etc. It may be that the features you need are not exposed through awsx. Compare the awsx and aws implementations. See if the code you need is in aws and not awsx. If it's in aws only, you'll need to rewrite using the aws resources instead of the awsx ones. You can copy the code out of awsx for a quick start.
