- `kms_key_id` (string) - ID, alias or ARN of the KMS key to use for boot volume encryption. This only applies to the main `region`, other regions where the AMI will be copied will be encrypted by the default EBS KMS key. For valid formats see _KmsKeyId_ in the [AWS API docs - CopyImage](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/API_CopyImage.html). This field is validated by Packer, when using an alias, you will have to prefix `kms_key_id` with `alias/`.
