Summary

  • Removes all source code from the aws-proxy extension (code has moved elsewhere)
  • Keeps README.md with simplified installation instructions pointing to PyPI (localstack extensions install localstack-extension-aws-proxy)
  • Removed: aws_proxy/, tests/, example/, etc/, pyproject.toml, Makefile, MANIFEST.in, AGENTS.md

Test plan

  • Verify aws-proxy/README.md is the only remaining tracked file in the directory
  • Confirm README install instructions reference PyPI, not source

Code has moved elsewhere; the extension directory now contains only a
README pointing users to install via `localstack extensions install`.

Not sure about the impact on the console side, but this link still points to this repository. Is it expected?

## Installation

The AWS Cloud Proxy can be used to forward certain API calls in LocalStack to real AWS, in order to enable seamless transition between local and remote resources.
Install the extension via the LocalStack CLI:

follow-up: would it make sense to move these instructions entirely to our docs and point our users there ? That way we will have a single source of truth on how to run the extension and we won't need to change anything here again.

Great point - /cc @quetzalliwrites @HarshCasper wdyt, would it make sense to point our users to the docs directly here?

Hola @whummer @nik-localstack, I agree, it's a great idea to point to the docs here.Like @nik-localstack says, this way you don't need to maintain it in multiple places 🙌🏽

Done @quetzalliwrites - added a link to this tutorial in our docs: https://docs.localstack.cloud/aws/tutorials/aws-proxy-localstack-extension/ I've left the basic installation steps and configuration options in the README here for now, though, as it seems in the docs currently we only have the tutorial, but not a full documentation of this extension with all config options, etc.

Perhaps there could be an opportunity to review the current docs coverage for our Extensions more holistically..? (we've recently also added some new extensions recently, and I don't think all of them are centrally documented yet.) Happy to discuss offline! 👍

The install badge linked to the GitHub source which no longer exists;
replaced with a link to the official docs tutorial as the single source
of truth for getting started, while keeping the inline reference docs.
