Support for Node.js 14 and NPM 9+

[jkelley-godaddy]

Background

Please see the original issue for @aws-sdk/client-sts here: aws/aws-sdk-js-v3#5305

Summary

When using @aws-sdk/client-sts as a bundleDependencies, npm pack resolves @aws-sdk/client-sts dependency on @aws-crypto/sha256-browser and @aws-crypto/sha256-js to 3.0.0 for compatibility with Node.js 14.x. Due to breaking changes in NPM 9+ to npm pack these older versions resolve to the deprecated package @aws-sdk/util-utf8-browser which has files omitted, leading to the error Cannot find module. npm pack does not work with overrides as a work-around.

Issue

Since all currently supported versions of Node.js use NPM 9+ we are looking to resolve this issue.

According to the original issue AWS SDK cannot drop support for Node.js 14.x until May 1, 2024 or later. Therefore changing the dependency version in use by @aws-sdk/client-sts on the main branch would require a version of @aws-crypto compaible with both NPM 9+ and Node.js 14.x which we were advised to request.

Please advise if this is possible or if any additional information is required.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
