Enable SSE encryption on DynamoDB table using Terraform

Question

I am trying to encrypt the DynamoDB table using Terraform. I added this block for SSE encryption:-



    server_side_encryption 
    {
    enabled = true
    kms_master_key_id = "${var.kmsid}"
    sse_algorithm     = "kms"
    }

But I am getting below error:

Error: aws_dynamodb_table.example: server_side_encryption.0: invalid or unknown key: kms_master_key_id Error: aws_dynamodb_table.example: server_side_encryption.0: invalid or unknown key: sse_algorithm

Any suggestions would be really helpful.

DynamoDB tables are always encrypted and its free. Thus there is nothing to enable. However, you can choose to use your own KMS key (not free). Do you have a requirement to use your own KMS key for that? — Marcin

Thats not valid. Take a look here in the documentation.

The following should be specified:

enabled
kms_key_arn
