Step 3: Setting a key rotation period and starting time

Once the key is created, you can set a rotation period with a starting time. Here is the command that will allow you to do so:

gcloud kms keys create key
--keyring key-ring-name
--location location
--purpose "encryption"
--rotation-period rotation-period
--next-rotation-time next-rotation-time

Replace key with a name for the key. Replace key-ring-name with the name of the existing key ring where the key will be located. Replace location with the Cloud KMS location for the key ring. Replace rotation-period with an interval, such as 30d to rotate the key every 30 days. Replace next-rotation-time with a timestamp at which to begin the first rotation, such as 1970-01-01T01:02:03.

Now that you have created a key for symmetric encryption, let us see how to use it to encrypt content.
