NOTE

Based on your specific AWS or network setup, creating a new organization may not be successful because of proxy or firewall restrictions. As a result, you may see various issues when uploading files, such as KMS errors, missing Data Hub policies, and more.

AWS KMS Key Rotation

📘

NOTE

Starting in TDP v3.6.0, all new AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) keys automatically rotate their key material every year (approximately 365 days from their creation). For existing AWS KMS keys that were created before TDP v3.6.0, customers must activate automatic key rotation manually in the TDP. For more information, see Rotating AWS KMS keys in the AWS Documentation.

Activate AWS KMS Key Rotation for Keys Created Before TDP v3.6.0

To manually activate automatic key rotation for an AWS KMS key created before TDP v3.6.0, follow the instructions in Make Sure That Your Organization Can Communicate with AWS. When you select the AWS button, a Success! message displays indicating that automatic key rotation is now activated for the organization’s associated AWS KMS key.
