Amazon Key Management Service (KMS) is introducing multi-Region keys for Amazon Web Services China Regions, a new capability that lets you replicate keys from one region into another within China. With multi-Region keys, you can more easily move encrypted data between China Regions without having to decrypt and re-encrypt with different keys.
Multi-Region keys are ideal for client-side encryption in which encryption is done within the application. It simplifies any process that requires copying protected data into multiple regions, such as disaster recovery/backup, or for digital signature applications that require the same signing key in multiple regions.
Multi-Region keys are available in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and in Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. To learn more about this new capability, please see the Amazon KMS Developer Guide.
