Breaking Changes / Porting Guide 

ec2_instance - instance wait for state behaviour has changed. If plays require the old behavior of waiting for the instance monitoring status to become OK when launching a new instance, the action will need to specify state: started (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/481).
ec2_snapshot - support for waiting indefinitely has been dropped, new default is 10 minutes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/356).

ec2_vpc_dhcp_option - The module has been refactored to use boto3. Keys and value types returned by the module are now consistent, which is a change from the previous behaviour. A purge_tags option has been added, which defaults to True. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/252)
ec2_vpc_dhcp_option_info - Now preserves case for tag keys in return value. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/252)
module_utils.core - The boto3 switch has been removed from the region parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/287).
module_utils/compat - vendored copy of ipaddress removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/461).
