Description
Nextflow currently uses the AWS Java SDK v1 which is reaching end of life.
Additionally, new features are only being added to SDK v2, which will make it difficult to adopt new AWS features in the future. We found a way to support SSO authentication with some adaptor class, but other changes might not be so feasible.
The main components we use are AWS Batch, S3, and of course credentials. I don't believe the AWS Batch piece has changed much, but according to Paolo, the file transfer API is very different, and our S3 filesystem is easily the most complex piece of our AWS integration.
Another major change is that the v2 client can only work with a single region whereas the v1 client is cross-region. Supposedly this should not be challenging to implement anymore.
