AWS tools installer V2

AWS has released AWS Tools Installer V2 (preview) for PowerShell, improving module installation speed, adding offline/prerelease support and self-update commands, fixing installation bugs, and removing outdated modules all to simplify tooling management.

Amazon Web Services announced the preview release of AWS Tools Installer V2 for PowerShell to make managing AWS Tools for PowerShell modules faster and more reliable. V2 speeds up installs by bundling many modules, introduces new commands for self-updating the installer itself, and supports offline and prerelease installations.

It also fixes issues where some modules failed to update, and improves reliability during publishing windows.

New features include installer update notifications and better standard removal support. Some breaking changes require updated firewall settings and removal of certain parameters. Legacy modules can now be uninstalled automatically.
