Old versions pre-v2.1.x of CPM may fail to communicate with AWS with errors could not get object from aws and reason SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed

Old versions (pre-v2.1.x) of CPM may fail to communicate with AWS with error "could not get object from aws" and reason "SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed"

Old versions (pre-v2.1.x) of CPM may fail to communicate with AWS, logging the following error:
Error - (instance: i-12345678) could not get object from aws. Reason: [Errno 1] _ssl.c:503: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed

This may happen because AWS stops supporting AWS libraries used in the old CPM versions.
In order to resolve this issue, please upgrade to the latest version of CPM: https://support.n2ws.com/portal/kb/articles/release-notes-for-the-latest-v2-2-x-cpm-release
