AWS S3 SDK end of support on December 31, 2025

[jeromeroucou]

Dataverse uses the AWS Java SDK version 1 to store files in S3 buckets. The following documentation explains how to configure Dataverse to use this functionality: https://guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/installation/config.html#amazon-s3-storage-or-compatible

As of July 31, 2024, Amazon, which provides the SDK for S3, indicates that the SDK is under maintenance and will only have major bug fixes, as well as modifications for security issues. Amazon also indicates that there will be no further support by December 31, 2025, a year from now.

In this period, the SDK should be migrated from version 1, currently in use, to version 2.

@jeromeroucou thanks for the heads up! This wasn't on my radar, at least. 😅

Are you thinking about making a pull request?

Just adding milestone 6.7 and putting in the IQSS project so it doesn't get lost - seems like we should update with enough time for people to upgrade, though I suspect we may need to discuss back-porting too.
