CMEK: GCP Customer Managed Cloud Encryption Keys

Data security, sovereignty, and privacy in the cloud are all fundamentally regulated by encryption

The creation, rotation, usage recording, and storage of cryptographic keys can all be made more flexible with Customer-Managed Encryption Keys

Google is happy to announce the debut of Cloud KMS Autokey in preview, which will help to improve the efficiency of CMEK setup

An integration of CMEK is deemed to exist for Google services that utilise your keys

The encryption keys used to protect your data are owned and managed by Google

The default encryption provided by Google can be substituted with server-side encryption via CMEK integration

Transparency and end-user effort are eliminated during encryption and decryption since CMEK-integrated services manage resource access
