 Starting with the 2.0.0 releases of amazon.aws and community.aws, it is generally the collection's policy to support the versions of `botocore` and `boto3` that were released 12 months prior to the most recent major collection release, following semantic versioning (for example, 2.0.0, 3.0.0).
 
-Version 9.0.0 of this collection supports `boto3 >= 1.28.0` and `botocore >= 1.31.0`
+Version 10.0.0 of this collection supports `boto3 >= 1.34.0` and `botocore >= 1.34.0`
 
 All support for the original AWS SDK `boto` was removed in release 4.0.0.

+  - community.aws collection - The community.aws collection has dropped support for
+    ``botocore<1.34.0`` and ``boto3<1.34.0``. Most modules will continue to work
+    with older versions of the AWS SDK, however compatibility with older versions
+    of the SDK is not guaranteed and will not be tested. When using older versions
+    of the SDK a warning will be emitted by Ansible (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/2426).
