Amazon S3 and Amazon CloudFront migrating default certificates to Amazon Trust Services in March 2021

Subject: [Action Required] Amazon S3 and Amazon CloudFront migrating default certificates to Amazon Trust Services in March 2021

Hello,

In 2018, AWS announced a broad migration of AWS services’ SSL/TLS certificates to our own Certificate Authority, Amazon Trust Services. Consistent with this change, and beginning March 2021, Amazon S3 and Amazon CloudFront will begin migrating the Certificate Authority for each services’ default certificate. Using our own Certificate Authority, AWS services can better manage the security practices used to handle our default certificates.

Your action may be required to ensure your applications continue normal operation after this change. If you already use other AWS services, your application most likely already trusts Amazon Trust Services as many AWS services have already migrated. Visit https://www.amazontrust.com/repository/ for more information about Amazon Trust Services.

To prepare for this migration, visit the announcement blog or review the FAQs below:

If you have additional questions, or require additional assistance, please open a case in the AWS Support Center: https://aws.amazon.com/support

Please also monitor each services’ AWS Forums page for future updates as the migration date approaches:
