Securing HAQM S3 Glacier with a customer-managed encryption key

Customer managed encryption keys are a common architecture requirement within highly regulated workloads. This post demonstrates how to satisfy this requirement within HAQM Simple Storage Service (HAQM S3), including HAQM S3 Glacier. We also clarify some common points of confusion and demonstrate how objects can be uploaded directly to HAQM S3 Glacier via HAQM S3, which can help meet regulatory requirements as well as potentially save budget.
