What you need to know

It’s widely known that Microsoft isending support for Internet Explorer 11 in 2022. However, some companies are increasing the browser’s irrelevance ahead of 2022 by no longer factoring it in when developing new features for their sites, services, and tools. One such company is Amazon, which has made IE 11 persona non grata within the Amazon Web Services (AWS) ecosystem.

Amazon doesn’t mince words in itsblog postannouncing the end of AWS support for IE 11. If you’re using the AWS Management Console, Amazon Chime, Amazon Honeycode, AWS Marketing, AWS Support, AWS Marketplace, AWS Documentation, or just about anything else with AWS in the name, Amazon has a message for you: “It is time to upgrade to a more modern & secure browser such as Edge, Firefox, or Chrome.”

In that same blog post, Amazon breaks down the stages that will occur as it formally detaches AWS from IE 11.

In summary, if you use AWS for any of your operations, it’s time to ditch IE 11 for good.
