Hey all, I have just cut RC2 of the Amazon provider with release preparation date 2026-11-10. This email is calling a vote on the release, which will last for 24 hours - which means that it will end on 2026-11-11 08:00 UTC and until 3 binding +1 votes have been received. This is a shortened (24 hours) vote, as agreed by the policy set in https://lists.apache.org/thread/cv194w1fqqykrhswhmm54zy9gnnv6kgm. apache-airflow-providers-amazon 9.40.0rc1 already had a full 72-hour vote as part of the 2026-11-03 wave.
Consider this my (binding) +1. This vote is for apache-airflow-providers-amazon 9.40.0rc2 only. Amazon was excluded from the 2026-11-03 wave so that the new SageMakerTrainingOperator option ships as cancel_on_kill, the name the other providers use, instead of stop_training_job_on_kill. RC2 includes that rename, which also adds the option to SageMakerProcessingOperator (#76413), and the amazon changes merged since RC1, which are listed in the testing issue below. The standard provider, also excluded from the 2026-11-03 wave, is not part of this vote. With #76131 reverted, it will be released as 1.22.0 in the next regular providers wave. Airflow Providers are available at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airflow/providers/2026-11-10 *apache-airflow-providers-2026-11-10-source.tar.gz* is the full source tarball of airflow repo - snapshot taken at the moment of provider's release. *apache-airflow-providers-<PROVIDER>-*.tar.gz* are the convenience python "sdist" distributions that we publish in PyPI *apache_airflow_providers_<PROVIDER>-*.whl are the convenience Python "wheel" distributions that we publish in PyPI. The test procedure for PMC members is described in https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/dev/README_RELEASE_PROVIDERS.md#verify-the-release-candidate-by-pmc-members The test procedure for Contributors who would like to test this RC is described in: https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/dev/README_RELEASE_PROVIDERS.md#verify-the-release-candidate-by-contributors Public keys are available at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/airflow/KEYS Please vote accordingly: [ ] +1 approve [ ] +0 no opinion [ ] -1 disapprove with the reason Only votes from PMC members are binding, but members of the community are encouraged to test the release and vote with "(non-binding)". Please note that the version number excludes the 'rcX' string. This will allow us to rename the artifact without modifying the artifact checksums when we actually release it. The status of testing the providers by the community is kept here: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/76805 The issue is also the easiest way to see important PRs included in the RC candidates. Detailed changelog for the providers will be published in the documentation after the RC candidates are released. You can find the RC packages in PyPI following these links: https://pypi.org/project/apache-airflow-providers-amazon/9.40.0rc2/ Cheers, Niko
