[Announcement] python3.6 Runtime Deprecation

[mndeveci]

SAM CLI will stop supporting python3.6, by January 31st, 2023.

This runtime is no longer supported by AWS Lambda, and it is on the deprecation path. Users are not able to deploy/update these functions anymore.

What is deprecation schedule?

After January 31st 2023, SAM CLI will no longer allow customers to use deprecated runtimes within the CLI.

Am I impacted by this deprecation?

You are impacted by this if you are still using python3.6 runtime. The recommendation is to upgrade these runtimes to a newer version which is supported by AWS Lambda.

For more information about supported runtimes by AWS Lambda, please check https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/runtime-support-policy.html

AWS Lambda Builders will stop support using it as a library for python3.6, see aws/aws-lambda-builders#419 for more details.
