Amazon Quick Sight launches public API for SPICE CMK Data Encryption

Posted on: May 22, 2024

Amazon Quick Sight is excited to announce the launch of public API support for Customer Managed Keys (CMK) to encrypt and manage SPICE datasets. Previously, customers were required to manually configure CMK data encryption keys via the Quick Sight console UI. Now with this API enhancement, Quick Sight users can programmatically opt in and configure the customer managed keys, seamlessly integrating it into their adoption and migration pipeline. Once turned on, the feature would benefit Quick Sight users to 1/ be able to revoke access to SPICE datasets with one click, and 2/ maintain an auditable log that tracks how SPICE datasets are accessed.

The new SPICE CMK API is now available in Amazon Quick Sight Enterprise Editions in all Quick Sight regions - US East (N. Virginia and Ohio), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), South America (São Paulo), Europe (Frankfurt, Stockholm, Paris, Ireland and London), Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo), and the AWS GovCloud (US-West) Region.
