 ====== Enterprise File Fabric S3 Signatures Compatibility Advisory ======
-##### First published on March 12, 2019.
+##### First published on March 14, 2019.
-<WRAP center round important 60%>
+<WRAP center round important 70%>
-This advisory applies only to customers using Amazon S3 storage with File Fabric versions earlier than v10, or S3-compatible storage with File Fabric versions earlier than v1901.
+Amazon S3 Providers - Applies to File Fabric v3.2 and earlier.
+S3-compatible providers - Applies to File Fabric v1808 and earlier.

-Over time the way that Amazon allows programs to access S3 storage has changed.  In particular, the "signature" that S3 requires so it can validate access requests has evolved, with v4 supplanting v2 as the standard.
-When Amazon makes this kind of change, they usually allow the old version of their software and the new version to coexist for some period of time before they remove the old version.  That has been the case with v2 of the S3 signature, which has coexisted with v4 for many months.  On June 24, however, v2 will be removed and can no longer be used.

-The File Fabric introduced support in v10 for S3's v4 signature with the Amazon S3 storage connector.  ** Customers using Amazon S3 storage with a pre v10 version of the File Fabric must upgrade to a newer supported version of the File Fabric - currently either v1808 or v1901 - prior to June 24, 2019 to ensure uninterrupted service. **

 Many other storage systems such as Google Cloud Storage, Cloudian and others, present an S3-compatible interface. The makers of these storage systems may choose to implement v4 signatures in the coming months.  If they do then they may also retire their implementations of the v2 signature some time in the future.
