Amazon Cognito now supports customer managed key for encryption at rest

Amazon Cognito now supports customer managed keys in AWS Key Management Service (KMS) for encrypting user pool data at rest. While AWS owned keys are used by default to protect your data, customer managed keys give you full control over the encryption keys, helping you achieve your organization's data governance objectives.

With customer managed keys, you can define organizational policies and revoke access to encrypted data by disabling or deleting your key. You create and manage the customer managed key lifecycle and usage permissions in AWS KMS. You can configure a customer managed key when creating a new user pool or update an existing user pool to use one. You can also use AWS CloudTrail to monitor and audit all usage of your customer managed keys, giving you visibility into when and how your identity data is accessed.

Customer managed keys are available in user pools in Essentials and Plus tiers at no additional costs. Standard AWS KMS charges apply. To get started, configure your customer managed keys using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs. Visit the developer guide for instructions.
