How to use AWS KMS key to encrypt your metrics exports

AWS Key Management Service or AWS KMS offers a single control point to oversee keys. Furthermore, it also helps define policies consistently across the various integrated services as well as our own applications. In other words, we can easily create and manage cryptographic keys in addition to controlling their usage across other AWS services.

If you are looking for a way to use an AWS KMS key to encrypt your metric report, you are in the right place. All we have to do is update the key policy. Follow these steps, courtesy of our skilled Support Engineers at Bobcares, and you will get the job done in a jiffy:

1. 1. First, we will sign in to the AWS Management Console with the AWS account that owns the customer-managed key.
   2. Next, we have to open the AWS KMS console at this link.
   3. Then we will change the AWS Region with the help of the Region selector option.
   4. After that, we have to select Customer managed keys from the navigation pane.
   5. Next, choose the key we plan on using to encrypt the metrics exports. It is vital to remember that AWS KMS keys are Regions Specific. In other words, the keys must be in the same Region as the metrics export destination S3 bucket.
   6. Then, head to Key Policy and select Switch to policy view.
   7. Here, we will select Edit to update the key policy.
   8. Finally, add the following key policy to the current key policy underEdit key policy and select Save changes:

      {
          "Sid": "Allow Amazon S3 Storage Lens use of the KMS key",
           "Effect": "Allow",
          "Principal": {
              "Service": "storage-lens.s3.amazonaws.com"
          },
          "Action": [
              "kms:GenerateDataKey"
          ],
          "Resource": "*",
          "Condition": {
             "StringEquals": {
                 "aws:SourceArn": "arn:aws:s3:us-east-1:source-account-id:storage-lens/your-dashboard-name",
                 "aws:SourceAccount": "source-account-id"
              }
           }
      }

   Alternatively, we can use the AWS KMS PUT key policy in order to copy the key policy.
