Ultimate Hands-On AWS KMS Course 2025, Master AWS KMS for secure encryption, key management, and real-world serverless projects. Hands-On For Developers.
Course Description
Secure your AWS applications using Key Management Service (KMS)
This project-based crash course walks you through AWS KMS from the ground up, covering core encryption principles, key management, access control, and real-world hands-on demos.
You’ll start by learning what KMS is, how encryption works in AWS, and the different key types based on ownership. Then you’ll dive into envelope encryption, why it’s used, and implement it.
In the second part of the course, you’ll master KMS key access control using IAM policies, key policies, and grants.
You’ll also learn how to audit key usage with CloudTrail.
To make everything stick, you’ll build two practical projects:
- A Serverless Password Manager
- A JWT-based Authentication Server using asymmetric KMS keys (RSA)
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
- Confidently explain how AWS KMS works
- Apply envelope encryption in real-world scenarios
- Control KMS access using IAM and key policies
- Encrypt and protect secrets in AWS
- Monitor and audit key usage using CloudTrail
- Build secure serverless apps using KMS-backed encryption and JWTs
Who This Course Is For:
- Anyone wanting to build secure, serverless architectures
- Developers working with AWS want to understand KMS in depth
- Learners prepping for AWS Developer or Security exams.
