EnableKeyRotation

Focus mode
EnableKeyRotation - AWS Key Management Service

The following example shows an AWS CloudTrail log entry of a call to the EnableKeyRotation operation. For an example of the CloudTrail log entry that is written when the key is rotated, see RotateKey. For information about rotating AWS KMS keys, see Rotate AWS KMS keys.

Note

The rotation-period is an optional request parameter. If you do not specify a rotation period when you enable automatic key rotation, the default value is 365 days.

CloudTrail log entries for this operation recorded on or after December 2022 include the key ARN of the affected KMS key in the responseElements.keyId value, even though this operation does not return the key ARN.
