Add blocked_encryption_types to the origin bucket encryption rule - #379
Vladimir Kuznichenkov (kuzaxak) wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
AWS disables SSE-C by default for general purpose buckets created from March 2026 onward, and buckets opt in or out of that block through the S3 server-side encryption configuration. The module hardcodes the origin bucket's encryption rule to AES256 with no way to reach that setting, so consumers that need SSE-C explicitly blocked have to fork the module or manage the bucket outside of it. Expose the rule's `blocked_encryption_types` argument as a variable defaulting to `null`, which leaves whatever S3 already has in effect untouched. Blocking an encryption type is independent of choosing a default encryption algorithm, so the resource is no longer gated on `encryption_enabled` alone: it is also created when `blocked_encryption_types` is set, and `apply_server_side_encryption_by_default` becomes conditional on `encryption_enabled`. Otherwise the new variable would be silently dropped for anyone who turns default encryption off. With `encryption_enabled = true` the rendered rule is byte-for-byte what it was, so existing configurations see no diff. Raise the AWS provider floor to 6.40.0. The argument first appears in 6.22.0, but only becomes Optional and Computed in 6.40.0; in between, leaving it unset yields a perpetual diff once S3 starts disabling SSE-C on its own.

AWS S3 SSE-C default behavior new general purpose buckets April 2026 March 2026 rollout
💡 Result:
Starting in April 2026, Amazon S3 implemented a security change that disables server-side encryption with customer-provided keys (SSE-C) by default for all new general purpose buckets [1][2][3]. Key details of this rollout: - Default Behavior: For all new general purpose buckets, SSE-C is now blocked by default [1][4]. Any requests to upload objects using SSE-C will be rejected with an HTTP 403 Access Denied error unless the bucket's configuration is explicitly updated [2][3]. - Existing Buckets: The change also affected existing buckets within AWS accounts that did not have any existing SSE-C encrypted objects, effectively disabling SSE-C for new write requests in those accounts [1][5][3]. If an account already had SSE-C encrypted objects, the encryption configuration for existing buckets remained unchanged [1][3]. - Enabling SSE-C: If your workload requires SSE-C, you must explicitly enable it for a bucket by calling the PutBucketEncryption API operation to set the BlockedEncryptionTypes parameter to NONE [2][4]. - Rollout Timeline: The deployment began on April 6, 2026, and was rolled out to 37 AWS Regions, including AWS China and AWS GovCloud (US), throughout the month of April 2026 [1][5][3]. This update was introduced as a security best practice, as most modern workloads utilize server-side encryption with Amazon S3 managed keys (SSE-S3) or AWS KMS keys (SSE-KMS) [6]. Because SSE-C requires providing the encryption key with every request, it is considered less flexible for sharing access with other users, roles, or AWS services [6].

Correct the AWS rollout date and scope.
Change “March 2026” to “April 2026” and refer to applicable new general purpose buckets.
