Urgent response needed: Boto3 and Botocore end of support April 2026

[mshodge]

Hi there.

As this image uses Python 3.9, the image will no longer receive support for Boto3 or Botocore from April 2026 (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/python-support-policy-updates-for-aws-sdks-and-tools/).

Given the image is using an old Python version and libraries, what does AWS suggest users of the image do going forward?

Will AWS release an updated image? Should we expect this? Or should we plan to build our own containers.

Any response would help us plan for migrations if needed.

Regards

Michael

Just noticed the upgrade to Py 3.10 https://github.com/aws/sagemaker-scikit-learn-container/releases/tag/v1.4.2

A lot of the documentation out there doesn't point toward this latest version yet.
