Securely transferring data from Postgres to Amazon S3 using WAL-E

[mdic...@gmail.com]

First time poster. New to WAL-E but it seems like a fantastic tool.

I would like use WAL-E to backup my PostgreSQL database to Amazon S3. I am trying to determine if the data is encrypted in transit from Postgres to S3 using SSL/TLS but the documentation is not entirely clear on this point. Searching the forums suggest it is using SSL and I see WAL-E uses boto library that I believe by default uses SSL/TLS but can anybody confirm or tell me how to configure WAL-E to ensure it does in fact use SSL/TLS?

Thanks in advance.

WAL-E used to only support TLS.

Only by setting specific values for "WALE_S3_ENDPOINT" is thought to
be able to disable it (e.g. for on-prem installations of radosgw).

Awesome, thanks!
