Schedules the deletion of a customer master key (CMK). You may provide a
waiting period, specified in days, before deletion occurs. If you do not
provide a waiting period, the default period of 30 days is used. When
this operation is successful, the key state of the CMK changes to
PendingDeletion. Before the waiting period ends, you can use
CancelKeyDeletion to cancel the deletion of the CMK. After the waiting
period ends, AWS KMS deletes the CMK and all AWS KMS data associated
with it, including all aliases that refer to it.
kms_schedule_key_deletion(KeyId, PendingWindowInDays)[required] The unique identifier of the customer master key (CMK) to delete.
Specify the key ID or the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the CMK.
For example:
Key ID: 1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab
Key ARN:
arn:aws:kms:us-east-2:111122223333:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab
To get the key ID and key ARN for a CMK, use ListKeys or DescribeKey.
The waiting period, specified in number of days. After the waiting period ends, AWS KMS deletes the customer master key (CMK).
This value is optional. If you include a value, it must be between 7 and 30, inclusive. If you do not include a value, it defaults to 30.
svc$schedule_key_deletion( KeyId = "string", PendingWindowInDays = 123 )
Deleting a CMK is a destructive and potentially dangerous operation. When a CMK is deleted, all data that was encrypted under the CMK is unrecoverable. To prevent the use of a CMK without deleting it, use DisableKey.
If you schedule deletion of a CMK from a custom key store,
when the waiting period expires, ScheduleKeyDeletion deletes the CMK
from AWS KMS. Then AWS KMS makes a best effort to delete the key
material from the associated AWS CloudHSM cluster. However, you might
need to manually delete the orphaned key material
from the cluster and its backups.
You cannot perform this operation on a CMK in a different AWS account.
For more information about scheduling a CMK for deletion, see Deleting Customer Master Keys in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.
The result of this operation varies with the key state of the CMK. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.
