To avoid shipping unused services, specify which services you would like to keep in your composer.json file and use the Aws\\Script\\Composer::removeUnusedServices or Aws\\Script\\Composer::removeUnusedServicesInDev script:

{
    "require": {
        "aws/aws-sdk-php": "<version here>"
    },
    "scripts": {
        "pre-autoload-dump": "Aws\\Script\\Composer\\Composer::removeUnusedServices"
    },
    "extra": {
        "aws/aws-sdk-php": [
            "Ec2",
            "CloudWatch"
        ]
    }
}

In this example, all services deemed safe for deletion will be removed except for Ec2 and CloudWatch. When listing a service, keep in mind that an exact match is needed on the client namespace, otherwise, an error will be thrown. For a list of client namespaces, please see the Namespaces list in the documentation. Run composer install or composer update to start service removal.

NOTE: S3, Kms, SSO and Sts are used by core SDK functionality and thus are unsafe for deletion. They are excluded from deletion in this script. If you accidentally remove a service you'd like to keep, you will need to reinstall the SDK. We suggest using composer reinstall aws/aws-sdk-php.
