In API Gateway, Cognito was previously an Authorizer option. Indeed, the AWS Developer Documentation still refers to its use. However, the new UI does not have it as an option. We are concerned about switching back to the old UI and continuing is use if it is a deprecated feature.

Q: Is the use of Cognito as an authorizer still appropriate, even though it is not a choice in the new UI?

CodePudding user response：

The cognito option is only shown in REST APIs and not for HTTP APIs

For HTTP APIs, you can use Amazon Cognito as a JWT issuer.
