What Is a Default Master Key?¶
A Default Master Key is automatically created by another cloud service using KMS, such as Object Storage Service (OBS). The alias of a Default Master Key ends with /default.
You can use the management console to query but cannot disable or schedule the deletion of Default Master Keys.
Alias | Cloud Service |
|---|---|
obs/default | Object Storage Service (OBS) |
evs/default | Elastic Volume Service (EVS) |
ims/default | Image Management Service (IMS) |
Note
A Default Master Key is automatically created when a user employs the KMS encryption function for the first time in another cloud service.
