What is AWS KMS?

AWS Key Management Service (KMS) is a managed service that makes it easy for you to create and control the cryptographic keys used to protect your data. KMS allows you to centrally manage encryption keys and define the policies associated with their use, providing a secure and compliant way to encrypt data at rest and in transit across various AWS services and applications. It is commonly used for encrypting EBS volumes, S3 buckets, databases, and other sensitive data stored in AWS.
