aws-synthetics: NodeJS puppeteer Runtime Versions 5.2 & 6.2 & Python Selenium 2.1

[alaa-nassef]

Describe the feature

On February 6, AWS announced the release of NodeJS puppeteer runtimes 6.2 & 5.2, and python selenium runtime 2.1, and announced that all non-deprecated older versions will be deprecated on March 8th. Today, we got an email from AWS saying that new lambda runtimes will be deployed on March 19th and that the changes will not be backwards compatible with current puppeteer versions so we have to upgrade our runtimes

Those versions do not exist in the latest CDK version, so we need them to be added so that we can update our runtimes, test and deploy to production before the cutoff time

Use Case

AWS will upgrade the lambda runtimes to a non-compatible version with the current puppeteer runtimes, which will break our synthetic canaries.

Proposed Solution

No response

@pahud : we're having the same issue again, this time with SYNTHETICS_PYTHON_SELENIUM_2_1 being deprecated by April 15, 2024.
Would it be possible that those deprecations could be made while taking into account the AWS-provided dependencies (i.e. CDK) ? 15 days is a little tight.
But from a communication standpoint it probably creates issues for customers since the new synthetics versions are not available when those announcements come out.
Thanks !
