Is SSL used by default for Google Cloud with ADC?

[Jules F.]

Hi,

When backing up to Google Cloud with ADC (Application Default Credentials) is SSL being used by default at all stages of the backup (authentication & then storage requestes)?

Thanks

Hello Jules,

When backing up to Google Cloud with ADC (Application Default Credentials) is SSL being used by default at all stages of the backup (authentication & then storage requestes)?

S3QL uses this library in that case: https://googleapis.dev/python/google-auth/latest/index.html
(more precisely this method: https://googleapis.dev/python/google-auth/latest/reference/google.auth.html#google.auth.default)
Have a look there, what the defaults are and what this library uses.

Connections to the storage servers always use TLS.
