Bug: Layer Version is Wrong in Docs

Open skwashd opened this issue 2 months ago • 1 comments

Expected Behaviour

The docs show the current version of the lambda layer.

Current Behaviour

The docs show the layer version is 18.

Code snippet

See reproduction steps.

Possible Solution

The docs are kept up to date.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go to https://docs.aws.amazon.com/powertools/python/3.22.1/#lambda-layer_1
  2. See that the current layer version is 18
  3. Be a bit suspicious about the accuracy of the docs
  4. Run aws ssm get-parameter --name /aws/service/powertools/python/arm64/python3.13/latest --query 'Parameter.Value' --output text
  5. Feign surprise when the command returns arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:017000801446:layer:AWSLambdaPowertoolsPythonV3-python313-arm64:26
  6. Get a sense of deja vu
  7. Search closed tickets
  8. Find #6859, which is an earlier instance of this issue
  9. Realise I opened it
  10. Create a new ticket
  11. Promise you will personally thank the person who fixes this properly if they're at Reinvent

Hey @skwashd ! Thanks for the detailed reproduction steps. You're absolutely right, this is clearly a recurring issue since you reported it in #6859, and we have a process gap that needs fixing systematically. I'm moving this to our backlog. Thanks! And if you find us at re:Invent, please let us know 😄
