Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB now allows customers to encrypt database storage using symmetric customer-managed keys from AWS Key Management Service. This capability applies to InfluxDB 2 and 3 instances, including read replicas and clusters, with keys managed within the same AWS account and region as the databases.
Customers choose their encryption key at database creation; the key cannot be altered afterward. The feature integrates with AWS management tools and is available in all regions supporting Timestream for InfluxDB. AWS charges no extra fee for this encryption option beyond standard KMS usage costs, providing greater control over key management for data security.
