This feature allows organizations to manage encryption keys themselves, offering greater control over access policies and auditability through AWS CloudTrail integration. It supports multiple symmetric CMKs per account and region, with one default key for flexible data encryption management.
Customer-managed keys improve security posture by enabling traceability of data access events and rapid revocation of compromised keys. The keys must be created in the same AWS account and region as Quick resources, and this functionality is generally available across all AWS regions where Amazon Quick is offered.
