I see the same problem after upgrading to latest AWS SDK. When running tsc, the error message says:

this result could not be resolved under your current 'moduleResolution' setting. Consider updating to 'node16', 'nodenext', or 'bundler'

But if I change that setting in tsconfig.json, I break a bunch of other existing stuff. My settings in tsconfig.json are "module": "commonjs" and no setting for "moduleResolution".

I recommend updating your moduleResolution Node16 because you're running Node.js 18, but a one potential workaround is to add this to a .d.ts file within your project.

// file.d.ts
declare module "@aws-sdk/core/account-id-endpoint" {
  export * from "@aws-sdk/core/dist-types/submodules/account-id-endpoint/index.d";
}

We will explore adding this on our side as well.

In my case, setting tsconfig.json "moduleResolution" to "node16" also requires setting "module" to "node16", and this change breaks other existing dependencies, causing errors like Cannot find module '@middy/core'. This is why I'm unwilling to start migrating until everything works.
