Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB now supports customer managed keys

Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB Updates

Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB now supports AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer managed keys for encrypting data at rest in InfluxDB 2 database instances, InfluxDB 2 Read Replicas, and InfluxDB 3 clusters.

Customers can select a symmetric AWS KMS key when creating a database resource. Timestream for InfluxDB uses the selected key to encrypt the underlying database storage for InfluxDB 2 and InfluxDB 3 resources. The key must be in the same AWS account and AWS Region as the database resource. The key cannot be changed after the resource is created.

This feature is available through the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, and Timestream for InfluxDB API. It is available in all AWS Regions where Timestream for InfluxDB is available. There is no additional Timestream for InfluxDB charge for using customer managed keys. Standard AWS KMS charges apply.

What to do

• Open the Amazon Timestream console to create a database resource with a customer managed key.
• Refer to the Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB documentation for more information.
• Review the pricing page for AWS KMS charges.
