- Upgrade to Java 8 or newer and migrate to AWS SDK for Java 2.x
- Or pin to an older AWS SDK 1.x version that supports Java 7, but no further updates
- Reasons for dropping Java 7 support: end of life, and dependency issues with third-party libraries
- The team welcomes feedback and contributions on the aws-sdk-java-v2 GitHub repository
