      summary: Disable Ebs Encryption By Default
      description: Disables EBS encryption by default for your account in the current Region. After you disable encryption by default, you can still create encrypted volumes by enabling encryption when you create each volume. Disabling encryption by default does not change the encryption status of your existing volumes. For more information, see Amazon EBS encryption in the Amazon EBS User Guide.

    post:
      operationId: EnableEbsEncryptionByDefault
      summary: Enable Ebs Encryption By Default
      description: Enables EBS encryption by default for your account in the current Region. After you enable encryption by default, the EBS volumes that you create are always encrypted, either using the default KMS key or the KMS key that you specified when you created each volume. For more information, see Amazon EBS encryption in the Amazon EBS User Guide. Enabling encryption by default has no effect on the encryption status of your existing volumes. After you enable encryption by default, you can no longer launch instances using instance types that do not support encryption. For more information, see Supported instance types.
