AWS CloudShell has outdated PowerShell runtime and outdated AWS PowerShell module

Hello,

I have read your post and I understand that you want the AWS CloudShell team to get PowerShell and the AWS PowerShell module updated. The following shells are pre-installed and ready for use in AWS CloudShell: the Bash shell, PowerShell, and the Z shell.

Concerning versions and Powershell updates, the AWS CloudShell development environment is regularly updated to provide access to the latest software and AWS does not provide specific version numbers in their documentation.

Instead, they describe how you can check which version is installed. Often this can be done by entering the program name followed by the --version option (for example, git --version ) or for PowerShell you can use $PSVersionTable

When in AWS CloudShell, switch to PowerShell using pwsh command & press Enter.

To check the lastest version of PowerShell on AWS CloudShell use $PSVersionTable command.

Creating the tags you mentioned would be very much helpful, however, I think that's something AWS needs to do on their side.

I hope this helps.
