Changing the default CMK - Amazon QuickSight
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Changing the default CMK

You can change the default key to another key that already exists in the KMS keys dashboard. When you change the default key, all new QuickSight data is encrypted on the new key. The new default key changes how new QuickSight data is encrypted. However, existing QuickSight data will continue to use the previous default key.

To learn more about which data can be managed with the key, see Encrypting your QuickSight data with Amazon Key Management Service customer-managed keys.
