I got this exception while running a spring boot application locally, I started getting this exception when I upgraded spring boot version to 3.3.0:

Error:

The following classes could not be excluded because they are not auto-configuration classes:
- org.springframework.cloud.aws.autoconfigure.context.ContextCredentialsAutoConfiguration
- org.springframework.cloud.aws.autoconfigure.context.ContextInstanceDataAutoConfiguration
- org.springframework.cloud.aws.autoconfigure.context.ContextRegionProviderAutoConfiguration
- org.springframework.cloud.aws.autoconfigure.context.ContextResourceLoaderAutoConfiguration
- org.springframework.cloud.aws.autoconfigure.context.ContextStackAutoConfiguration

sample pom.xml:

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>3.3.0</version>
    <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository. -->
</parent>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-aws-secrets-manager-config</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.5.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-cloud-aws-autoconfigure</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.5.RELEASE</version>
    <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

Code:

import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.cloud.aws.autoconfigure.context.*;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Profile;

@Configuration
@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = {
        ContextCredentialsAutoConfiguration.class,
        ContextInstanceDataAutoConfiguration.class,
        ContextRegionProviderAutoConfiguration.class,
        ContextResourceLoaderAutoConfiguration.class,
        ContextStackAutoConfiguration.class
})
@Profile("local")
class MyClass{

}

I need this config class to make the app not connect to AWS and run locally without any issue. Any idea how to fix this issue?

If I don’t have the config class above, I get this exception:

 com.amazonaws.SdkClientException: Unable to load AWS credentials from any provider in the chain: [EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider: Unable to load AWS credentials 
from environment variables (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID (or AWS_ACCESS_KEY) and 
AWS_SECRET_KEY (or AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY)),
