AWS Key Management Service cost saving tips Optimize your AWS Key Management Service costs with these tips
Use AWS Service Integration
Use built-in integration with other AWS services like S3, EBS, and Redshift to encrypt data at rest without additional development, saving costs associated with managing encryption keys separately.
Consolidate CMKs
Start with a small number of customer master keys (CMKs) and consolidate encryption needs where possible to reduce cost and ease key management.
Regularly Monitor Keys
Monitor key usage regularly using AWS CloudTrail logs and delete keys that are no longer required. It helps in avoiding cost for inactive keys.

About AWS Key Management Service Service information & pricing
About AWS Key Management Service
AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) enables users to create and manage cryptographic keys for applications and AWS services. Users can create secure keys, control access, and utilize features such as data encryption/decryption, operation signing/verifying, data keys generation/exportation and MACs generation/verification. AWS KMS also integrates with Amazon EC2, S3, and EBS for envelope encryption.
AWS Key Management Service pricing
AWS Key Management Service (KMS) costs $1/month per key, regardless of type or source, and $1/month extra for automatic key rotations. However, AWS-managed keys, customer managed scheduled-sale keys, or data keys/key pairs are free. KMS API request costs vary, though the free tier offers 20,000 free requests monthly. Standard charges apply for AWS CloudHSM usage.
