AMAZON S3 - TSL 1.3 CONNECTION REQUIRED

Question

Dear Sirs and Madams,

Amazon S3 is going to start enforcing a minimum of TLS 1.2. My website host uses TLS 1.3 (Siteground), however, Amazon S3 has sent to me an e-mail of recent requests using TLS 1.0 and 1.1. The plugin I use also meet the requirements of the requested parameters (WP Offload Media Lite).

Are there any settings here in AWS that affect the TLS version used?
Cause I do not understand why I was sent this e-mail otherwise..

Thanks!

Matteo

Answer

Hi Matteo,

I should read in details https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/tls-1-2-required-for-aws-endpoints/

It will give you all details about the switch to this new version of TLS:

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/tls-1-2-required-for-aws-endpoints/
 
```
If you are one of the AWS customers who may be impacted, we will notify you on your AWS Health 
Dashboard, and by email. After June 28, 2023, AWS will update our API endpoint configuration to 
remove TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1, even if you still have connections using these versions.
```

So, the Heath Dashboard mentioned above will tell which endpoints you have to fix (if any)
