aws	AWS: aws_kms_secret	docs-aws-datasource-kms-secret	Provides secret data encrypted with the KMS service

aws_kms_secret

The KMS secret data source allows you to use data encrypted with the AWS KMS service within your resource definitions.

~> NOTE: Using this data provider will allow you to conceal secret data within your resource definitions but does not take care of protecting that data in the logging output, plan output or state output.

Please take care to secure your secret data outside of resource definitions.

Example Usage

First, let's encrypt a password with KMS using the AWS CLI tools. This requires you to have your AWS CLI setup correctly, and you would replace the key-id with your own.

$ echo 'master-password' > plaintext-password
$ aws kms encrypt \
> --key-id ab123456-c012-4567-890a-deadbeef123 \
> --plaintext fileb://plaintext-example \
> --encryption-context foo=bar \
> --output text --query CiphertextBlob

Now, take that output and add it to your resource definitions.

data "aws_kms_secret" "db" {
    secret {
        name = "master_password"
        payload = "AQECAHgaPa0J8WadplGCqqVAr4HNvDaFSQ+NaiwIBhmm6qDSFwAAAGIwYAYJKoZIhvcNAQcGoFMwUQIBADBMBgkqhkiG9w0BBwEwHgYJYIZIAWUDBAEuMBEEDI+LoLdvYv8l41OhAAIBEIAfx49FFJCLeYrkfMfAw6XlnxP23MmDBdqP8dPp28OoAQ=="

        context {
            foo = "bar"
        }
    }
}

resource "aws_rds_cluster" "rds" {
    master_username = "root"
    master_password = "${data.aws_kms_secret.db.master_password}"
    ...
}

And your RDS cluster would have the root password set to "master-password"

Argument Reference
