EnableKeyRotation

Enables automatic rotation of the key material for a KMS key.

Description​

The `EnableKeyRotation` operation enables automatic rotation of the key material for a symmetric customer managed KMS key. You cannot enable automatic rotation of asymmetric KMS keys, KMS keys in custom key stores, or AWS managed keys.

note
  • When you enable key rotation, QKMS automatically creates new cryptographic material for the KMS key one year after enabling and every year thereafter.
  • The KMS key that you use for this operation must be in a compatible key state.
  • You cannot enable automatic rotation for AWS managed keys.
