Description: A KMS-managed key is an encryption key that is created, managed, and used by the AWS Key Management Service. This service allows users to generate and control cryptographic keys used to encrypt data in the cloud. KMS-managed keys are essential for ensuring the security of information stored in various cloud services, where data can be sensitive and require additional protection. KMS provides a simple interface for creating and managing keys, allowing users to define access and auditing policies to ensure that only authorized entities can use the keys. Additionally, KMS integrates seamlessly with other cloud services, making it easier to implement robust security practices across the cloud infrastructure. Key management is essential in the context of data security, as it allows organizations to comply with regulations and security standards while protecting the confidentiality and integrity of stored information.
