Migrate a Python integration off the archived boto (v2) library to boto3

Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗

Steps

  1. Confirm the legacy boto (v2) package is archived (read-only) as of May 10, 2024, per github.com/boto/boto, with its last release being 2.49.0 from July 11, 2018
  2. Note there is no formal AWS EOL announcement date for boto v2 — cite the GitHub archival date and last-release date, not an invented deprecation date
  3. Replace boto.connect_<service>()-style calls with the boto3 client/resource pattern (boto3.client('service')), since the import paths and module structure are not compatible
  4. Audit any code paths relying on boto v2 modules that never gained full Python 3 support, since these are common hidden migration blockers
  5. Re-test AWS credential handling, since boto v2 and boto3 use different configuration file conventions and defaults
