Maintenance: decrease aws-sdk usage

[dreamorosi]

Summary

The repo uses aws-sdk (v2) to interact with AWS in several places related to integration tests. We should make an effort to phase out this usage in favor of the more modular AWS SDK v3.

Why is this needed?

Because the AWS SDK v2 is going to be put in maintenance mode in 2023, this way we'll be ahead of the curve when that happens.

Which area does this relate to?

Automation

Solution

Try to switch to AWS SDK v3 for JavaScript wherever possible.

As the linked PR states, the aws-sdk will still remain in the project in some capacity. The Tracer integration tests function code require the SDK to be present for the time being.
