Start Stream Encryption
kinesis_start_stream_encryption | R Documentation |
Enables or updates server-side encryption using an Amazon Web Services KMS key for a specified stream¶
Description¶
Enables or updates server-side encryption using an Amazon Web Services KMS key for a specified stream.
When invoking this API, you must use either the StreamARN
or the
StreamName
parameter, or both. It is recommended that you use the
StreamARN
input parameter when you invoke this API.
Starting encryption is an asynchronous operation. Upon receiving the
request, Kinesis Data Streams returns immediately and sets the status of
the stream to UPDATING
. After the update is complete, Kinesis Data
Streams sets the status of the stream back to ACTIVE
. Updating or
applying encryption normally takes a few seconds to complete, but it can
take minutes. You can continue to read and write data to your stream
while its status is UPDATING
. Once the status of the stream is
ACTIVE
, encryption begins for records written to the stream.
API Limits: You can successfully apply a new Amazon Web Services KMS key for server-side encryption 25 times in a rolling 24-hour period.
Note: It can take up to 5 seconds after the stream is in an ACTIVE
status before all records written to the stream are encrypted. After you
enable encryption, you can verify that encryption is applied by
inspecting the API response from put_record
or put_records
.
Usage¶
Arguments¶
StreamName
The name of the stream for which to start encrypting records.
EncryptionType
[required] The encryption type to use. The only valid value is
KMS
.KeyId
[required] The GUID for the customer-managed Amazon Web Services KMS key to use for encryption. This value can be a globally unique identifier, a fully specified Amazon Resource Name (ARN) to either an alias or a key, or an alias name prefixed by "alias/".You can also use a master key owned by Kinesis Data Streams by specifying the alias
aws/kinesis
.Key ARN example:
arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789012:key/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012
Alias ARN example:
arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789012:alias/MyAliasName
Globally unique key ID example:
12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012
Alias name example:
alias/MyAliasName
Master key owned by Kinesis Data Streams:
alias/aws/kinesis
StreamARN
The ARN of the stream.
Value¶
An empty list.
