The AWS X-Ray Telemetry instrumentation (aws_xray_sdk) will enter maintenance mode on February 25, 2026. During this period, the X-Ray SDKs and Daemon will only receive critical bug fixes and security updates, and will not be updated to support new features.

Planned End-of-Support is February 25, 2027—after this date, aws_xray_sdk will no longer receive updates or releases.

It is recommended to migrate to AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) or OpenTelemetry Instrumentation.
