 After this change, the key is generated using the `module name` + `qualified function name` + `idempotency key` (e.g: `app.classExample.function#app.handler#282e83393862a613b612c00283fef4c8`).
 
 Using qualified names prevents distinct functions with the same name to contend for the same Idempotency key.

+## Feature Flags and AppConfig Parameter utility
+
+AWS AppConfig deprecated the current API (GetConfiguration) - [more details here](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-lambda-powertools-python/issues/1506#issuecomment-1266645884).
+
+You must update your IAM permissions to allow `appconfig:GetLatestConfiguration` and `appconfig:StartConfigurationSession`. There are no code changes required.
