amazon.aws Release Notes

v9.0.0

Release Summary

This major release brings a new set of supported modules that have been promoted from community.aws, several bugfixes, minor changes and deprecated features. We also dropped support for botocore<1.31.0 and boto3<1.28.0. Due to the AWS SDKs announcing the end of support for Python less than 3.8 (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 was deprecated in this release and will be removed in release 10.0.0.

If the VPC already exists and ipv6_cidr property, retain the current config (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/631).

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).
