Description

We have this warning from github

Node.js 20 actions are deprecated. The following actions are running on Node.js 20 and may not work as expected: actions/checkout@v4, actions/setup-python@v3, aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v2, marvinpinto/action-inject-ssm-secrets@latest, slackapi/slack-github-action@v2.1.1. Actions will be forced to run with Node.js 24 by default starting June 2nd, 2026. Node.js 20 will be removed from the runner on September 16th, 2026. Please check if updated versions of these actions are available that support Node.js 24. To opt into Node.js 24 now, set the FORCE_JAVASCRIPT_ACTIONS_TO_NODE24=true environment variable on the runner or in your workflow file. Once Node.js 24 becomes the default, you can temporarily opt out by setting ACTIONS_ALLOW_USE_UNSECURE_NODE_VERSION=true. For more information see: https://github.blog/changelog/2025-09-19-deprecation-of-node-20-on-github-actions-runners/

Please update all dependencies EXCEPT marvinpinto/action-inject-ssm-secrets to versions that run on Node 24.

marvinpinto/action-inject-ssm-secrets is no longer maintained. Replace it with https://github.com/techmatters/flex-plugins/tree/master/.github/actions/inject-ssm-secrets

Additional context

Ensure usages of AWS_DEFAULT_REGION as an environment variable name are renamed since aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v6 overwrites that variable name

The source for https://github.com/techmatters/flex-plugins/tree/master/.github/actions/inject-ssm-secrets will need to be pulled before it is used. If the rest of the repo is not used, use a sparse checkout to pull the actions directory only
