Amazon Redshift now supports encrypting unloaded data using Amazon S3 server-side encryption with AWS KMS keys

The Amazon Redshift UNLOAD command now supports Amazon S3 server-side encryption using an AWS KMS key. The UNLOAD command unloads the results of a query to one or more files on Amazon S3. You can let Amazon Redshift automatically encrypt your data files using Amazon S3 server-side encryption, or you can specify a symmetric encryption key that you manage. With this release, you can use Amazon S3 server-side encryption with a key managed by AWS KMS. In addition, the COPY command loads Amazon S3 server-side encrypted data files without requiring you to provide the key. For more information, see COPY and UNLOAD in the Amazon Redshift Database Developer Guide.

Attach an IAM role to your existing Amazon EC2 instance

You can now attach or replace an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role to your existing Amazon EC2 instance. IAM roles enable your applications running on EC2 to use temporary security credentials that AWS creates, distributes, and rotates automatically. Using temporary credentials reduces the risk of long-term key compromise. To enable IAM roles for your existing EC2 instances, follow the example described in the AWS Security Blog post.
