Changes to S3 Block Public Access

Stax is updating its existing implementation of the AWS S3 Block Public Access functionality.

Currently Stax will enable the AWS account level setting to Block Public Access in each of your Stax-managed AWS Accounts.

Going forward Stax will apply this protection using the recently announced organization-level enforcement with an Organization S3 Policy.

You can read more about the AWS Announcement here.

Stax will now automatically create a new empty Organization S3 Policy named stax-managed-policy within your AWS Organization. This S3 Policy will be automatically attached to the Root of the AWS Organization. When you enable this protection Stax will set the public_access_block_configuration to all.

For more information on eanbling this, refer to the documentation on Configure AWS Accounts.

If you have any questions or concerns in advance of this, please contact your Customer Success Manager or raise a support case.
