Dbvisit Replicate works with Amazon Web Services.

...

You can access encrypted volumes the same way that you access existing volumes; encryption and decryption are handled transparently and they require no additional action from you, your EC2 instance, 
or your application.


We have tested out both EC2 and RDS configurations with Dbvisit Replicate version 2.8 on AWS, utlizing KMS, and it works without issue. As stated this encryption is transparent to the application, and does not affect the replication itself.
 

Some additional notes to be aware of when working with KMS:

  • KMS keys are region-specific and cannot be shared across regions
  • Amazon EBS encryption is not available on all instance types, so please consult the documentation to check whether a particular instance type is
  • There is no direct way to encrypt an existing unencrypted volume, or to remove encryption from an encrypted volume. However, you can migrate data between encrypted and unencrypted volumes, and you can apply encryption while copying the encrypted snapshot of an unencrypted volume
  • You can create an encrypted boot volume by using the "Copy Image" function for an AMI, which enables you to specify a Master Key for the encryption, if selected. For more see here.
