Immediately initiates rotation of the key material of the specified symmetric encryption KMS key.
You can perform on-demand rotation of the key material in customer managed KMS keys, regardless of whether or not automatic key rotation is enabled. On-demand rotations do not change existing automatic rotation schedules. For example, consider a KMS key that has automatic key rotation enabled with a rotation period of 730 days. If the key is scheduled to automatically rotate on April 14, 2024, and you perform an on-demand rotation on April 10, 2024, the key will automatically rotate, as scheduled, on April 14, 2024 and every 730 days thereafter.
You can perform on-demand key rotation a maximum of 10 times per KMS key. You can use the KMS console to view the number of remaining on-demand rotations available for a KMS key.
You can use GetKeyRotationStatus to identify any in progress on-demand rotations. You can use ListKeyRotations to identify the date that completed on-demand rotations were performed. You can monitor rotation of the key material for your KMS keys in CloudTrail and Amazon CloudWatch.
On-demand key rotation is supported only on symmetric encryption KMS keys. You cannot perform on-demand rotation of asymmetric KMS keys, HMAC KMS keys, KMS keys with imported key material, or KMS keys in a custom key store. To perform on-demand rotation of a set of related multi-Region keys, invoke the on-demand rotation on the primary key.
You cannot initiate on-demand rotation of Amazon Web Services managed KMS keys. KMS always rotates the key material of Amazon Web Services managed keys every year. Rotation of Amazon Web Services owned KMS keys is managed by the Amazon Web Services service that owns the key.
The KMS key that you use for this operation must be in a compatible key state. For details, see Key states of KMS keys in the Key Management Service Developer Guide.
Cross-account use: No. You cannot perform this operation on a KMS key in a different Amazon Web Services account.
Required permissions: kms:RotateKeyOnDemand (key policy)

Eventual consistency: The KMS API follows an eventual consistency model. For more information, see KMS eventual consistency.
This is an asynchronous operation using the standard naming convention for .NET 4.5 or higher. For .NET 3.5 the operation is implemented as a pair of methods using the standard naming convention of BeginRotateKeyOnDemand and EndRotateKeyOnDemand.

| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ConflictException | The request was rejected because an automatic rotation of this key is currently in progress or scheduled to begin within the next 20 minutes. |
| DependencyTimeoutException | The system timed out while trying to fulfill the request. You can retry the request. |
| DisabledException | The request was rejected because the specified KMS key is not enabled. |
| InvalidArnException | The request was rejected because a specified ARN, or an ARN in a key policy, is not valid. |
| KMSInternalException | The request was rejected because an internal exception occurred. The request can be retried. |
| KMSInvalidStateException | The request was rejected because the state of the specified resource is not valid for this request. This exceptions means one of the following: The key state of the KMS key is not compatible with the operation. To find the key state, use the DescribeKey operation. For more information about which key states are compatible with each KMS operation, see Key states of KMS keys in the Key Management Service Developer Guide. For cryptographic operations on KMS keys in custom key stores, this exception represents a general failure with many possible causes. To identify the cause, see the error message that accompanies the exception. |
| LimitExceededException | The request was rejected because a quota was exceeded. For more information, see Quotas in the Key Management Service Developer Guide. |
| NotFoundException | The request was rejected because the specified entity or resource could not be found. |
| UnsupportedOperationException | The request was rejected because a specified parameter is not supported or a specified resource is not valid for this operation. |
