Can I Encrypt the Disk After Purchasing an RDS DB Instance?

You can enable disk encryption when purchasing an RDS DB instance. For details, see Buy a DB Instance.

After an instance is created, the disk encryption status and the key cannot be changed.

If you want to configure disk encryption for a created instance, perform the following operations:

  • Restore data to a new instance from backups and enable disk encryption for the new instance.
  • Use Data Replication Service (DRS) to migrate data from the instance to an encrypted instance.
