AWS Keyspace Table does not use Customer Managed Keys (CMKs)

Description

This policy identifies Keyspace Tables which are encrypted with default KMS keys and not with Keys managed by Customer. It is a best practice to use customer managed KMS Keys to encrypt your Keyspace Table data. It gives you full control over the encrypted data.

Code Example

resource "aws_keyspaces_table" "pass" {
  keyspace_name = aws_keyspaces_keyspace.example.name
  table_name    = "my_table"

  schema_definition {
    column {
      name = "Message"
      type = "ASCII"
    }

    partition_key {
      name = "Message"
    }
  }
  encryption_specification {
    kms_key_identifier=aws_kms_key.example.arn
    type="CUSTOMER_MANAGED_KEY"
  }
