  Amazon Rekognition pins a fixed API version date (2016-06-27) in the service
  model; it does not version by URI path or a request header.

    The AWS JSON protocol targets a fixed service API version (2016-06-27);
    changes are additive and delivered through the SDKs. Individual deep-learning
    models are separately versioned and returned in responses (e.g.
    LabelModelVersion, FaceModelVersion, ModerationModelVersion, TextModelVersion).
