AWS Deprecates 24 Services in Quarterly Cleanup, Most Are Obscure

Not artisan, but a perfectly fine bagel. Hits the spot.
Summary
AWS has deprecated 24 services in its quarterly cleanup, with 19 entering maintenance mode, 4 being sunset, and 1 reaching end of support. The article reassures readers that most deprecated services are obscure or have better alternatives, and provides guidance on checking if any of the deprecated services are in use within AWS accounts.
Key quotes
· 4 pulled19 services are mothballed ('maintenance mode'), four are being sunset ('you can't use these anymore after an upcoming date), and one is being end of supported ('it's finally dead').
AWS has done its quarterly housecleaning / 'Googling' of its services, and deprecated what appears at first glance to be a startlingly long list.
However, going through them put my mind at ease, and I'm hoping this post can do the same for you.
A few are alarming: something like 'Cloud Directory' seems like it'd be hard to replace, until you think about it and realize that you've never used it.
