Class CreateAliasRequest

java.lang.Object

com.amazonaws.AmazonWebServiceRequest

com.amazonaws.services.kms.model.CreateAliasRequest

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable

public class CreateAliasRequest
extends AmazonWebServiceRequest
implements Serializable

Creates a display name for a customer managed customer master key (CMK). You can use an alias to identify a CMK in selected operations, such as Encrypt and GenerateDataKey.

Each CMK can have multiple aliases, but each alias points to only one CMK. The alias name must be unique in the AWS account and region. To simplify code that runs in multiple regions, use the same alias name, but point it to a different CMK in each region.

Because an alias is not a property of a CMK, you can delete and change the aliases of a CMK without affecting the CMK. Also, aliases do not appear in the response from the DescribeKey operation. To get the aliases of all CMKs, use the ListAliases operation.

The alias name must begin with alias/ followed by a name, such as alias/ExampleAlias. It can contain only alphanumeric characters, forward slashes (/), underscores (_), and dashes (-). The alias name cannot begin with alias/aws/. The alias/aws/ prefix is reserved for AWS managed CMKs.

The alias and the CMK it is mapped to must be in the same AWS account and the same region. You cannot perform this operation on an alias in a different AWS account.

To map an existing alias to a different CMK, call UpdateAlias.

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.
