KMS Envelope Encryption on AWS
Master AWS KMS by creating customer-managed keys, encrypting data via CLI, and enforcing S3 server-side encryption.
Lab Overview
Learn how AWS Key Management Service (KMS) protects data through hands-on exercises that mirror real-world encryption workflows.
You'll learn to:
- Create and manage customer-managed KMS keys with aliases
- Encrypt and decrypt data directly using the AWS CLI
- Implement envelope encryption, the same pattern AWS services use internally
- Enforce server-side encryption on S3 buckets using your custom KMS key
