What's new

AWS is phasing out support for the old Starfield Class 2 (C2) certificate, ending 31 Dec 2025.

Systems that consume APIs on APEX must update their trust stores/configurations to trust Amazon Root CA and Starfield Services G2 before this date to avoid disruptions.

You are encouraged to perform this activity as soon as possible.

For further information, refer to APEX Cloud Notices →

Previously, only API publishers were required to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and onboard Techbiz to use APEX. APEX now requires all tenants to onboard APEX and accept the MOU.

Please monitor your emails for communications from the APEX team and follow the instructions to complete the TechBiz onboarding process. Upon successful onboarding to TechBiz, APEX tenants will be able to perform functions such as user management and also provision access to APEX Monitoring Tool.
