Lambda and Python use Email from AWS Subject: [Action Required] AWS Lambda end of support for Python 3.7 [AWS Account: 946642883953] [US-WEST-1]

Question

We basically just use a RDS SQL Database and s3 storage for our database backups. We restore old backups when we want to look at historical data. I access the data through a local sql management client.

Does anyone know why I would get this warning about Lambda Python 3.7 use?

Thanks,

Don

Answer

Hello.

Lambda Python3.7 will be deprecated on "Nov 27, 2023".  
The email you received is probably a notice of deprecation.  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/lambda-runtimes.html

Since it is still in phase 1 of deprecation, you can still use it, but security patches etc. will no longer be updated.  
If you enter phase 2 of deprecation, you will no longer be able to update Lambda, so we recommend updating your Python version.  
Please check the following documentation for runtime updates.  
Basically, before upgrading, we recommend that you test whether your current code works with the new version.
