Hi,

We received another email from Amazon S3 about their certificates (maybe you received it as well). This time they say:

---

This is a reminder that Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon CloudFront are both migrating their services’ certificates from DigiCert to Amazon Trust Services starting March 23, 2021. If you do not send HTTPS traffic directly to your S3 bucket, or only use custom domains like www.example.com with your CloudFront distribution, then there is no impact and you can disregard this message. If you do send HTTPS traffic directly to your S3 bucket, or use CloudFront domains covered by *.cloudfront.net, please continue reading and review the FAQ below on which certificates are migrating. 

[...]

Does this affect sending backups to S3 by AkeebaBackup?

 

Kind regards,

 

Frits

Hello,

long story short: don't worry, nothing will change for us (you and me). SSL certificates are a chain of trusts, where a certificate trusts another, up to a handful amount of root certificates. As long as the root is inside the certificate list deployed on your system, it won't change anything.

Looking at this page (https://aws.amazon.com/it/blogs/security/how-to-prepare-for-aws-move-to-its-own-certificate-authority/) Ubuntu systems (usually used for webservers) are already covered since 2008.

So nothing should change for us, don't worry.
