Question

How can you encrypt data in AWS?

Answer 1

• AWS provides various encryption options, including server-side encryption (SSE), client-side encryption, and AWS Key Management Service (KMS).
• SSE allows you to encrypt data at rest in AWS services like S3, EBS, and RDS.
• KMS enables you to create and control encryption keys used to encrypt your data.

Example of enabling SSE for an S3 bucket using AWS CLI:

aws s3api put-bucket-encryption --bucket example-bucket --server-side-encryption-configuration '{"Rules":[{"ApplyServerSideEncryptionByDefault":{"SSEAlgorithm":"AES256"}}]}'
