AWS Key Management Service (KMS)

Since Camel 2.21

Only producer is supported

The KMS component supports the ability to work with keys stored in AWS KMS instances.

Prerequisites

You must have a valid Amazon Web Services developer account, and be signed up to use Amazon KMS. More information is available at Amazon KMS.

URI Format

aws-kms://label[?options]

You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?options=value&option2=value&…​

URI Options

The AWS Key Management Service (KMS) component supports 12 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

autoDiscoverClient (common)

Setting the autoDiscoverClient mechanism, if true, the component will look for a client instance in the registry automatically otherwise it will skip that checking.

true

boolean

accessKey (producer)

Amazon AWS Access Key

String

configuration (producer)

The Component configuration

KMSConfiguration

kmsClient (producer)

To use a existing configured AWS KMS as client

AWSKMS

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

boolean

operation (producer)

Required The operation to perform. The value can be one of: listKeys, createKey, disableKey, scheduleKeyDeletion, describeKey, enableKey

KMSOperations

proxyHost (producer)

To define a proxy host when instantiating the KMS client

String

proxyPort (producer)

To define a proxy port when instantiating the KMS client

Integer

proxyProtocol (producer)

To define a proxy protocol when instantiating the KMS client. The value can be one of: HTTP, HTTPS

HTTPS

Protocol

region (producer)

The region in which KMS client needs to work. When using this parameter, the configuration will expect the capitalized name of the region (for example AP_EAST_1) You’ll need to use the name Regions.EU_WEST_1.name()

String

secretKey (producer)

Amazon AWS Secret Key

String

basicPropertyBinding (advanced)

Whether the component should use basic property binding (Camel 2.x) or the newer property binding with additional capabilities

false

boolean

The AWS Key Management Service (KMS) endpoint is configured using URI syntax:

aws-kms:label

with the following path and query parameters:

Path Parameters (1 parameters):

Name Description Default Type

proxyHost (producer)

To define a proxy host when instantiating the KMS client

String

proxyPort (producer)

To define a proxy port when instantiating the KMS client

Integer

proxyProtocol (producer)

To define a proxy protocol when instantiating the KMS client. The value can be one of: HTTP, HTTPS

HTTPS

Protocol

region (producer)

The region in which KMS client needs to work. When using this parameter, the configuration will expect the capitalized name of the region (for example AP_EAST_1) You’ll need to use the name Regions.EU_WEST_1.name()

String

secretKey (producer)

Amazon AWS Secret Key

String

basicPropertyBinding (advanced)

Whether the endpoint should use basic property binding (Camel 2.x) or the newer property binding with additional capabilities

false

boolean

synchronous (advanced)

Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used, or Camel is allowed to use asynchronous processing (if supported).

false

boolean

Required KMS component options

You have to provide the amazonKmsClient in the Registry or your accessKey and secretKey to access the Amazon KMS service.

Usage

Message headers evaluated by the KMS producer

Header Type Description

CamelAwsKMSLimit

Integer

The limit number of keys to return while performing a listKeys operation

CamelAwsKMSOperation

String

The operation we want to perform

CamelAwsKMSDescription

String

A key description to use while performing a createKey operation

CamelAwsKMSKeyId

String

The key Id

KMS Producer operations

Camel-AWS KMS component provides the following operation on the producer side:

  • listKeys

  • createKey

  • disableKey

  • scheduleKeyDeletion

  • describeKey

  • enableKey

Producer Examples

  • listKeys: this operation will list the available keys in KMS

from("direct:listKeys")
      .to("aws-kms://test?kmsClient=#amazonKmsClient&operation=listKeys")

Automatic detection of AWSKMS client in registry

The component is capable of detecting the presence of an AWSKMS bean into the registry. If it’s the only instance of that type it will be used as client and you won’t have to define it as uri parameter. This may be really useful for smarter configuration of the endpoint.

Dependencies

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml.

pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-aws-kms</artifactId>
    <version>${camel-version}</version>
</dependency>

where ${camel-version} must be replaced by the actual version of Camel.

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using aws-kms with Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-aws-kms-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
