Prior to this release, the AWS CLI and SDKs session limit was eight (8) hours. Now, you can choose a longer session so that you can run your jobs for a longer duration without re-authentication, and avoid abrupt termination of long running jobs. Alternatively, you can also shorten your session limit based on your organization’s security or compliance requirements. To enable session management feature for AWS CLI and SDKs, you will need to upgrade your AWS CLI and SDKs to minimum supported version.
