Here, it was the third result. I agree it's not maintained well (not maintained at all, as far as I can see); shame it's still high on Google's ranking. The second result from Google[1] isn't bad, especially if you go straight to the internal link[2]; better is the fourth result[3]. AWS isn't a standard library (that is, it's not in the standard). Instead, it's a library maintained by AdaCore. You might find their GNAT Component Collection[4] interesting.
