I admit I was going by assumptions, based on the fact I had never heard 
about it before, despite having been in the CI/CD treadmill for a few years.

Hm.
V 1.0.0 came out in Jan/Feb 2022, so in that sense, it's somewhat new.

Might have been in production use in pre-1.0.0 versions, of course.
I tend to assume software exists starting with 1.0.0, pre-1.0 versions 
tend to be very experimental and/or require handholding by the engineers 
that are building it.
Of course, for a shop like AWS, that's not always the most accurate 
assumption :-)

Jo
