Not relevant to SAM, I accidentally created an issue in the wrong repository (but in case anyone uses AWS Synthetics Canaries, the runtime needs to be updated before March 18, 2024).

[Action Required] Update your AWS Synthetics Canaries to the latest runtime version before March 18, 2024

Amazon Web Services, Inc. [email protected]

Hello,

We are contacting you as your AWS Account currently has one or more canaries using one or more AWS CloudWatch Synthetics Runtime versions that will be impacted by an upcoming AWS Lambda managed runtime update. Post March 18, 2024 these canaries will start failing as the Lambda runtime updates start rolling gradually, resulting in monitoring downtime and unexpected alarms.

Lambda will begin deployment of latest Lambda managed runtime updates on March 19, 2024. This release contains regular security patches along with updated OS package libraries that are not backward compatible with the following Synthetics Runtime versions: NodeJS-18 Runtime versions syn-nodejs-puppeteer-6.1 and lower, NodeJS-16 Runtime versions syn-nodejs-puppeteer-5.1 and lower, and Python Runtime versions syn-python-selenium-2.0 and lower [1].

To ensure uninterrupted canary runs and continued monitoring, AWS recommends customers to update their canaries to the latest Synthetics Runtimes versions: syn-nodejs-puppeteer-6.2 or higher for NodeJS-18, syn-nodejs-puppeteer-5.2 or higher for NodeJS-16, and syn-python-selenium-2.1 or higher for Python [2]. Canaries updated with latest Synthetics runtimes will continue running without interruption and receive future Lambda security updates.

A list of your impacted resource(s) can be found in the 'Affected resources' tab of your AWS Health Dashboard.

If you are unable to update any of your Canaries before March 18, 2024, you can prevent Lambda managed runtime updates from being applied to your canary functions using AWS Lambda runtime management controls [3], where available. The Lambda managed runtime updates include critical security patches, and therefore this approach should be used with caution as a temporary workaround only.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact AWS Support[4].
