Breaking Changes / Porting Guide

• The community.aws collection has dropped support for botocore<1.25.0 and boto3<1.22.0. Most modules will continue to work with older versions of the AWS SDK, however compatability with older versions of the SDK is not guaranteed and will not be tested. When using older versions of the SDK a warning will be emitted by Ansible (#1743).
• aws_ssm - the AWS SSM plugin was incorrectly prepending sudo to most commands. This behaviour was incorrect and has been removed. To execute commands as a specific user, including the root user, the become and become_user directives should be used. See the Ansible documentation for more information (#853).
• codebuild_project - tags parameter now accepts a dict representing the tags, rather than the boto3 format (#1643).

Deprecated Features

• community.aws collection - due to the AWS SDKs Python support policies (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/python-support-policy-updates-for-aws-sdks-and-tools/) support for Python less than 3.8 by this collection is expected to be removed in a release after 2024-12-01 (#1743).
• community.aws collection - due to the AWS SDKs announcing the end of support for Python less than 3.7 (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/python-support-policy-updates-for-aws-sdks-and-tools/) support for Python less than 3.7 by this collection has been deprecated and will be removed in release 7.0.0. (#1743).

Bugfixes
