Description

Automatic key rotation should be enabled for all symmetric encryption KMS keys. Key rotation does not require any change to applications that are using the key, so it is safe to enable at any time. This helps reduce the exposure window should the key material be leaked.

How to fix?

Set the aws_kms_key enable_key_rotation field to true.

Example Configuration

resource "aws_kms_key" "example" {
  enable_key_rotation = true
  # other required fields here
}
