AWS Control Tower and KMS Keys

187 Views Asked by At

AWS Control Tower successfully created Security-OU and a management account. I specified KMS key while creating the landing zone. Where is this AWS key used by control tower? I don't see it being used in Security-OU (audit and log-archive) accounts.

Thanks much for your help.

The key is used by cloud trail and config service to encrypt the data stored in s3 buckets at rest.
