KMS Envelope Encryption on AWS - Platform Engineering Hands-On Lab Icon

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
