Encrypt Scenario EC2 Cloud Config Files Using API Calls

Use this installation and configuration article when a scenario’s EC2 cloud configuration files need to be encrypted using approved API calls. Keep this procedure aligned with the CI/CD version and avoid duplicating implementation details unnecessarily.

Recommended guidance

Confirm which scenario configuration files require encryption and who owns them.
Use approved credentials, IAM roles, or temporary credentials with minimum required permissions.
Back up the original configuration before applying encryption changes.
Never expose plaintext secrets or decrypted configuration values in output logs.
Document the encryption key owner, storage location, and recovery procedure.

Validation workflow

Encrypt a controlled test copy of the configuration file.
Run a small scenario smoke test that uses the encrypted configuration.
Confirm failures are diagnosable without exposing secrets.
Record any required follow-up in the scenario documentation.
