Amazon has deprecated several things, they tend not to actually retire them (just reduce thei public profile so people aren't tempted to build new instances, while supporting the existing users indefinitely.)

By that metric, then, EC2-Classic has been for nearly 8 years. Accounts created after 2013 couldn't create classic instances.

>All AWS accounts created after December 4, 2013 are already VPC-only, unless EC2-Classic was enabled as a result of a support request.

By default. You could still request it to be enabled on your account by contacting support.

Do they publicly deprecate them? OpsWorks seems to have been silently deprecated for years, but I sure wish they would have told us that awhile ago. Our sales contact could never give us a straight answer on that.

Yep, SimpleDB comes to mind. Released in 2009, last updated circa 2012. Since DynamoDB was released it has been very silent on the SimpleDB front.
