EnableKey
Enables a KMS key.
Description
The `EnableKey` operation enables a KMS key. After the key is enabled, you can use it for cryptographic operations. This operation is part of the key lifecycle management.
note
- After a key is enabled, the key state changes to `Enabled`.
- You can disable the key again using the `DisableKey` operation.
- Enabling a KMS key that is scheduled for deletion does not cancel its deletion.
- The KMS key that you use for this operation must be in a compatible key state.
