How Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) uses Amazon KMS
You can use the Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) to set up,
operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. You can encrypt your Amazon RDS resources
under an Amazon managed key or customer managed key. Amazon RDS builds on Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) encryption to provide full
disk encryption for database volumes.
For detailed information about how Amazon RDS uses KMS keys to protect your resources, see
Encrypting Amazon RDS resources and Amazon KMS key management in the Amazon RDS User Guide.
