AWS Glue now supports data encryption at rest

Posted on: Sep 4, 2018

AWS Glue now supports data encryption at rest for ETL jobs and development endpoints. You can configure ETL jobs and development endpoints to use AWS Key Management Service (KMS) keys to write encrypted data at rest. You can also encrypt the metadata stored in the Glue Data Catalog using keys that you manage with AWS KMS. Additionally, you can use AWS KMS keys to encrypt job bookmarks and the logs generated by crawlers and ETL jobs.

Encryption settings for crawlers, ETL jobs, and development endpoints can be configured using the security configurations in Glue. Glue Data Catalog encryption can be enabled via the settings for the Glue Data Catalog. To learn more, please visit our documentation.
