The KMSDataKey object describes an Amazon Key Management Service data key.

KMSDataKey.id | string | The identifier of the Key Management Service key that encrypted the data key. |
KMSDataKey.ciphertextBlob | string | The base64-encoded encrypted copy of the data key. |
KMSDataKey.plaintext | string | The plain text data key. Use this data key to encrypt your data outside of Key Management Service. Then, remove it from memory as soon as possible. |
Example
JavaScript
import exec from 'k6/execution';
import { AWSConfig, KMSClient } from 'https://jslib.k6.io/aws/0.11.0/kms.js';
const awsConfig = new AWSConfig({
region: __ENV.AWS_REGION,
accessKeyId: __ENV.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
secretAccessKey: __ENV.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY,
});
const kms = new KMSClient(awsConfig);
const testKeyId = 'e67f95-4c047567-4-a0b7-62f7ce8ec8f48';
export default async function () {
// List the KMS keys the AWS authentication configuration
// gives us access to.
const keys = await kms.listKeys();
// If our test key does not exist, abort the execution.
if (keys.filter((b) => b.keyId === testKeyId).length == 0) {
exec.test.abort();
}
// Generate a data key from the KMS key.
const key = await kms.generateDataKey(testKeyId, 32);
