Update runtime to Python 3.9

The Python 3.6 runtime is being deprecated. I received the following notification from AWS.

We are contacting you as we have identified that your AWS Account currently has one or more Lambda functions using Python 3.6 runtime.

We are ending support for Python 3.6 in AWS Lambda. This follows Python 3.6 End-Of-Life (EOL) reached on December 23, 2021 [1].

As described in the Lambda runtime support policy [2], end of support for language runtimes in Lambda happens in two stages. Starting July 18, 2022, Lambda will no longer apply security patches and other updates to the Python 3.6 runtime used by Lambda functions, and functions using Python 3.6 will no longer be eligible for technical support. In addition, you will no longer be able to create new Lambda functions using the Python 3.6 runtime. Starting August 17, 2022, you will no longer be able to update existing functions using the Python 3.6 runtime.

We recommend that you upgrade your existing Python 3.6 functions to Python 3.9 before August 17, 2022.

End of support does not impact function execution. Your functions will continue to run. However, they will be running on an unsupported runtime which is no longer maintained or patched by the AWS Lambda team.

The following command shows how to use the AWS CLI [3] to list all functions in a specific region using Python 3.6. To find all such functions in your account, repeat this command for each region:

aws lambda list-functions --function-version ALL --region us-east-1 --output text --query "Functions[?Runtime=='python3.6'].FunctionArn"

If you have any concerns or require further assistance, please contact AWS Support [4].

Issues in Response

Hey,
This is regarding the daily backup and the issues is "I am not getting the Response object as they should be"
The two Response object I am getting is

1. BackupSummaries.
2. ResponseMetadata (Instead of LastEvaluatedBackupArn).

All the calculation is based on LastEvaluatedBackupArn response which i am not getting, Could you please help me out to identify the root cause for this issue?
