How Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) uses AWS KMS

You can use the Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. You can encrypt your Amazon RDS resources under an AWS managed key or customer managed key. Amazon RDS builds on Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) encryption to provide full disk encryption for database volumes.
