encrypted

Indicates whether to encrypt the snapshot.

You can't specify Encrypted and ** ParentSnapshotId** in the same request. If you specify both parameters, the request fails with ValidationException.

The encryption status of the snapshot depends on the values that you specify for Encrypted, KmsKeyArn, and ParentSnapshotId, and whether your Amazon Web Services account is enabled for encryption by default. For more information, see Using encryption in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

To create an encrypted snapshot, you must have permission to use the KMS key. For more information, see Permissions to use Key Management Service keys in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.
