Is this project in maintenance mode?

[jgrant-sms]

There was an AWS blog post stating that this project was going in to maintenance mode.
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/announcing-end-of-support-for-aws-copilot-cli-effective-february-3-2025/ (link does not work because the post was deleted)

There was also an approved PR that updated the README.md to confirm this.
#5974

The README.md file had the maintenance mode disclaimer removed a few hours later.
#5975

Is this project in maintenance mode? Are there plans for it to go in to maintenance mode.

Please do not announce something is in maintenance mode then just delete all of those announcements without any explanation.

Really bad move if true. Using ECS directly via IaC tools is much more work for teams.

You'd think the connection between "easier way to deploy applications to AWS cloud resources" and "revenue" would be an easy one to make.

See the previous discussion: #5925 (comment)

Safe to say that copilot is in maintenance mode. Safer to stay away from it.

Has been a great tool for us. How can we express the our unhappiness with the decision as customers/partners?

As pointed out under a similar discussion: "We are not actively developing any new features for Copilot but we still do maintenance work." We are working on broader messaging that will be shared across all available channels in the coming months.
