## Instructions for using Amazon KMS to manage the encryption lock
**#Amazon #KMS #Encryption #LOCK #instructions**
Amazon Key Management Service (KMS) is a managed service that provides secure, simple, and scalable encryption key management for AWS services and applications. KMS uses a hardware security module (HSM) to protect your encryption keys. You can use KMS to create, rotate, and manage encryption keys for your AWS resources.
You can use KMS to manage encryption locks on Amazon EBS volumes. An encryption lock is a cryptographic lock that prevents you from accidentally or intentionally disabling encryption on an EBS volume. When you create an EBS volume, you can choose to enable encryption. If you enable encryption, KMS creates an encryption key and attaches it to the volume. The encryption key is used to encrypt the data on the volume.
You can use KMS to manage the encryption lock on an EBS volume by using the following steps:
1. **Get the encryption key ID for the volume.** You can get the encryption key ID by using the following command:
```
aws kms describe-key --key-id <key-id>
```
2. **Disable the encryption lock.** To disable the encryption lock, use the following command:
```
aws kms disable-key-rotation --key-id <key-id>
```
3. **Enable the encryption lock.** To enable the encryption lock, use the following command:
```
aws kms enable-key-rotation --key-id <key-id>
```
