This stack trace makes it looks like the connection to AWS is failing with a cert error.

Do you have a decrypting corporate proxy on your network in between this server and AWS?

EDIT: oh, I see, Minio _is_ “AWS”.

If you run `awscli` commands from inside the container against Minio, do they work or fail with a cert error?
