    "KeyUsage": String,
    "Enable": Boolean,
    "PendingWindowInDays": Integer,

Properties

Property Type Required Editable Description Constraint
KeyUsage String No No The intended use of the CMK. Valid values:
  • ENCRYPT/DECRYPT: The CMK encrypts or decrypts data.
  • SIGN/VERIFY: The CMK generates or verifies a digital signature.
Enable Boolean No Yes Specifies whether to enable the CMK. Default value: true. Valid values:
  • true
  • false
PendingWindowInDays Integer No No The number of days to wait before the CMK is deleted. During this period, the CMK is in the PendingDeletion state and the delete operation can be canceled. Valid values: 7 to 30.

Default value: 30.

Unit: days.
Description String No Yes The description of the CMK. The description can be up to 8,192 characters in length.
KeySpec String No No The type of the CMK. Valid values:
  • Aliyun_AES_256
  • Aliyun_SM4
  • RSA_2048
  • EC_P256
  • EC_P256K
  • EC_SM2
Note If the CMK is created in Managed HSM in a region within mainland China, the default value is Aliyun_SM4. In other cases, the default value is Aliyun_AES_256.
EnableAutomaticRotation Boolean No Yes Specifies whether to enable automatic key rotation. Default value: false. Valid values:
  • true
  • false
RotationInterval String No Yes The period of automatic key rotation. Example: 365d. It must be in the integer[unit] format.
Valid values for the unit:
  • d: days
  • h: hours
  • m: minutes
  • s: seconds
For example, both 7d and 604800s represent a seven-day period.

The period can range from 7 to 730 days.
ProtectionLevel String No No The protection level of the CMK. Default value: SOFTWARE. Valid values:
  • SOFTWARE
  • HSM

Response parameters

Fn::GetAtt

KeyId: the globally unique identifier of the CMK.
