AWSConfigRemediation-UpdateXRayKMSKey

Description

The AWSConfigRemediation-UpdateXRayKMSKey runbook enables encryption on your Amazon X-Ray data using an Amazon Key Management Service (Amazon KMS) key. This runbook should only be used as a baseline to ensure that your Amazon X-Ray data is encrypted according to minimum recommended security best practices. We recommend encrypting multiple sets of data with different KMS keys.
