AWS CDK v1 to v2 migration

AWS CDK version should match the CDK version that cli-extensibility-helper package uses as a dependency in amplify/backend/custom/customResourceName/package.json.

You can verify the aws-cdk-lib version that @aws-amplify/cli-extensibility-helper uses in the amplify/backend/package.json file.

AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) version 1 that Amplify CLI uses under the hood has entered maintenance on June 1, 2022 with end of support date scheduled on June 1, 2023. Amplify CLI v11 and above uses CDK v2 to help you move away from deprecated CDK as well as unblock new features that won’t be added to version 1 of CDK.
