Sharing AWS Encrypted RDS Snapshot Between Two Accounts.


Overview

Login to the Source Account, Create a snapshot from RDS.

  1. Creating KMS Key (with details of the destination account)

  2. After the snapshot is created, Create a new copy of the snapshot & attach the KMS key.

  3. Share the newly created snapshot to the destination account.

  4. Log in to the Destination Account, head over to Shared with me snapshots, and create a new copy of the snapshot.

  5. Restore the copied Snapshot into a new RDS Instance.


Changes at the Stage Account

1. Create Snapshot

Log in to the stage AWS Account which contains the source Database and create a snapshot from it.

Click on Share Snapshot, we can see that we cannot directly share the snapshot

Cannot share an Encrypted Snapshot straight away. For that, we need the KMS key to the rescue.

Open Key Management Service (KMS)
