Amazon CloudWatch Synthetics announces release of Synthetics NodeJS Runtime versions - syn-nodejs-puppeteer-6.2, syn-nodejs-puppeteer-5.2 - and Python Runtime version - syn-python-selenium-2.1. This release brings updated Chromium dependency libs for forward compatibility with Lambda OS and adds new Lambda Ephemeral Storage usage metric in customer account. To learn more, see release notes.
It is important to note that the existing NodeJS-18 Runtimes 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) will be deprecated on March 8th 2024.
