Hi @sarahzinger / @njvrzm / @iwysiu
Do you mind if I work on upgrading the dependency to AWS SDK for Go v2?

Hi @imvtsl , thanks for your interest, but since this is a bigger issue that may involve design changes we'd rather handle it ourselves to avoid the possibility of a contributor doing a lot of work that doesn't get used. If you'd like to contribute to Grafana, the good first issue label is a good place to start, or if there's a specific plugin you'd like to contribute to I can look for a suitable issue!
