Question:
A company has an application that uses AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) to encrypt and decrypt data. The application stores data in an Amazon S3 bucket in an AWS Region. Company security policies require that the data is encryptedbeforebeing uploaded to S3, and decryptedwhen read. The S3 bucket isreplicated to other AWS Regions.
