How to update CRLs without public access using AWS Private CA | Amazon Web Services

Certificates and the hierarchy of trust they create are the backbone of a secure infrastructure. AWS Private Certificate Authority is a highly available certificate authority (CA) that you can use to create private CA hierarchies, secure your applications and devices with private certificates, and manage certificate lifecycles.

A certificate revocation list (CRL) is a file that contains a signed list of certificates revoked before their scheduled expiration date. Certificates can be revoked for a variety of reasons, including unintended key exposure, or because of discontinued use.

AWS Private CA writes CRLs to an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket that you specify. CRLs are public, fully qualified domain names (FQDNs), but you might have requirements for a CRL that is only accessible internally to your organization, or you might have security standards that require all S3 buckets to have Amazon S3 block public access enabled.
