NIST Misses 2024 Deadline to Clear NVD Backlog
NIST has failed to meet its self-imposed deadline of clearing the NVD's backlog by the end of the fiscal year. Meanwhile, CVE's awaiting analysis have increased by 33% since June.
@aws-cdk/aws-kms
Advanced tools
@aws-cdk/aws-kms is an AWS CDK library that allows you to define and manage AWS Key Management Service (KMS) resources in your AWS infrastructure as code. It provides constructs for creating and managing KMS keys, aliases, and grants, enabling secure encryption and decryption of data.
Create a KMS Key
This code sample demonstrates how to create a new KMS key with key rotation enabled and an alias using the AWS CDK.
const cdk = require('@aws-cdk/core');
const kms = require('@aws-cdk/aws-kms');
const app = new cdk.App();
const stack = new cdk.Stack(app, 'MyStack');
const key = new kms.Key(stack, 'MyKey', {
enableKeyRotation: true,
alias: 'alias/my-key'
});
app.synth();
Create a KMS Alias
This code sample demonstrates how to create a new KMS alias that points to an existing KMS key using the AWS CDK.
const cdk = require('@aws-cdk/core');
const kms = require('@aws-cdk/aws-kms');
const app = new cdk.App();
const stack = new cdk.Stack(app, 'MyStack');
const key = new kms.Key(stack, 'MyKey');
const alias = new kms.Alias(stack, 'MyAlias', {
aliasName: 'alias/my-alias',
targetKey: key
});
app.synth();
Grant Permissions to a KMS Key
This code sample demonstrates how to grant encrypt and decrypt permissions to an IAM user for a KMS key using the AWS CDK.
const cdk = require('@aws-cdk/core');
const kms = require('@aws-cdk/aws-kms');
const iam = require('@aws-cdk/aws-iam');
const app = new cdk.App();
const stack = new cdk.Stack(app, 'MyStack');
const key = new kms.Key(stack, 'MyKey');
const user = new iam.User(stack, 'MyUser');
key.grantEncryptDecrypt(user);
app.synth();
The aws-sdk package is the official AWS SDK for JavaScript, which provides a comprehensive set of tools for interacting with AWS services, including KMS. Unlike @aws-cdk/aws-kms, which is used for defining infrastructure as code, aws-sdk is used for making API calls to AWS services directly from your application code.
The serverless package is a framework for building and deploying serverless applications on AWS and other cloud providers. It includes support for managing AWS KMS keys as part of your serverless infrastructure. While it provides similar functionality for managing KMS keys, it is more focused on serverless architectures compared to the broader infrastructure management capabilities of @aws-cdk/aws-kms.
Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code tool that allows you to define and manage cloud resources, including AWS KMS keys, using a declarative configuration language. It provides similar functionality to @aws-cdk/aws-kms but uses a different syntax and approach to infrastructure management.
Defines a KMS key:
new EncryptionKey(this, 'MyKey', {
enableKeyRotation: true
});
Add a couple of aliases:
const key = new EncryptionKey(this, 'MyKey');
key.addAlias('alias/foo');
key.addAlias('alias/bar');
To use a KMS key in a different stack in the same CDK application, pass the construct to the other stack:
To use a KMS key that is not defined in this CDK app, but is created through other means, use
EncryptionKey.import(parent, name, ref)
:
const myKeyImported = EncryptionKey.import(this, 'MyImportedKey', {
keyArn: 'arn:aws:...'
});
// you can do stuff with this imported key.
key.addAlias('alias/foo');
Note that a call to .addToPolicy(statement)
on myKeyImported
will not have
an affect on the key's policy because it is not owned by your stack. The call
will be a no-op.
0.33.0 (2019-05-30)
IMPORTANT: apps created with the CDK version 0.33.0 and above cannot be used with an older CLI version.
