MySQL AWS keyring component extends functionality of AWS keyring plugin
In this post we discuss AWS Keyring Component. It uses Amazon Web Services Key Management Service (AWS KMS) as a back end for key generation and encryption and utilizes a file as a key storage.
Components are more independent and better encapsulated (thus more secure) extensions to MySQL compared to plugins. The component introduces AWS compatible configuration, appropriate to run in an AWS ECS container or an EC2 node.
