## Key Rotation

Customer master keys (CMKs) with imported key material are not eligible for
[automatic key rotation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/rotate-keys.html)
within AWS KMS. As such, key rotations performed by the secrets engine use the
[manual key rotation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/rotate-keys.html#rotate-keys-manually)
process. Applications should refer to the [alias](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/kms-alias.html)
associated with imported keys. Aliases will always have the form: `hashicorp/<key_name>-<unix_timestamp>`.
