AWS supports everything...forever.

For instance, putting your EC2 instances in a VPC has been the preferred way of operating since 2009. But, if you have an account old enough, you can still create an EC2 instance outside of a VPC.

You can still use the same SQS API from 2006 as far as I know.

Maybe "AWS and cloud infrastructure" will be to modern companies what COBOL and mainframes were to the big companies of 50 years ago.

No doubt somebody will be happy to charge you to support it for a long time...

They even still offer "reduced redundancy storage" even though it's been made obsolete (and is more expensive than the regular S3 storage).
