EC2: Enable-EC2EbsEncryptionByDefault Cmdlet | AWS Tools for PowerShell
AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell
Command Reference
AWS services or capabilities described in AWS Documentation may vary by region/location. Click Getting Started with Amazon AWS to see specific differences applicable to the China (Beijing) Region.
Enable-EC2EbsEncryptionByDefault Cmdlet
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)Available in AWS.Tools.EC2, AWSPowerShell.NetCore and AWSPowerShell
Synopsis
Calls the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) EnableEbsEncryptionByDefault API operation.
Syntax
Enable-EC2EbsEncryptionByDefault-DryRun <Boolean>-Select <String>-Force <SwitchParameter>-ClientConfig <AmazonEC2Config>
Description
Enables EBS encryption by default for your account in the current Region.
After you enable encryption by default, the EBS volumes that you create are always encrypted, either using the default KMS key or the KMS key that you specified when you created each volume. For more information, see Amazon EBS encryption in the Amazon EBS User Guide.
You can specify the default KMS key for encryption by default using ModifyEbsDefaultKmsKeyId or ResetEbsDefaultKmsKeyId.
Enabling encryption by default has no effect on the encryption status of your existing volumes.
After you enable encryption by default, you can no longer launch instances using instance types that do not support encryption. For more information, see Supported instance types.
Parameters
-ClientConfig <AmazonEC2Config>
Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.EC2.AmazonEC2ClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | True (ByPropertyName) |
-DryRun <Boolean>
Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation . Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation .
| Required? | False |

| Accept pipeline input? | True (ByPropertyName) |
-Force <SwitchParameter>
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.

| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | True (ByPropertyName) |
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is 'EbsEncryptionByDefault'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.EC2.Model.EnableEbsEncryptionByDefaultResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.EC2.Model.EnableEbsEncryptionByDefaultResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | True (ByPropertyName) |
Common Credential and Region Parameters
-AccessKey <String>
The AWS access key for the user account. This can be a temporary access key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
| Required? | False |

| Aliases | AK |
-Credential <AWSCredentials>
An AWSCredentials object instance containing access and secret key information, and optionally a token for session-based credentials.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | True (ByValue, ByPropertyName) |
-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.
