macOS 10.15 end of support for AWS CLI v2

Overview

On 2024-11-13, the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) v2 PKG installer and source distribution bundle will no longer support macOS 10.15 (Catalina), following the macOS support policy for the AWS CLI v2. This means that macOS 10.15’s compatibility with newer AWS CLI v2 versions will not be guaranteed.

Migrating to macOS 11 or later

For users currently on macOS 10.15 or prior, we encourage you to upgrade to macOS 11 or later to minimize the impact of future macOS deprecation campaigns. Customers using Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) can upgrade using official AMIs for macOS 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15.

For users unable to upgrade to macOS 11 or later, we recommend installing a version of the AWS CLI v2 that supports macOS 10.15 or prior. The latest AWS CLI v2 version supporting macOS 10.15 is 2.20.0. For more information on installing past releases of the AWS CLI v2, please visit the installation docs.

Conclusion

If you’re currently using macOS 10.15 or prior, the AWS CLI team encourages you to upgrade to macOS 11 or later. Please share your questions, comments, and issues with us on GitHub.
