right. in general those names do not change, but there is a good chance that there will be some work around S3 links done, (see [this thread](https://hub.mender.io/t/mainland-china-network-issues/1382/8)). Which you can monitor [here](https://tracker.mender.io/browse/MEN-3966). Since those change so rarely, I honestly do not know what will be the process here. I can assure you that if anything changes that has a global effect there will be a proper communication of it. How long do you need for the eventual changes to be applied, i.e.: how much time in advance do you require?

ok, so one important question: after you release the hardware, you can still do all the configuration later, right? (I just want to be sure that by some bizarre mis-configuration you do not release a shipment of bricks)  
so are you fine now? and have you tested that it all works (with current names)?
