Thanks a lot for your code

How can I import Invoke-KMSEncrypt ? Currently, I am getting error as not recognized for this.
Sorry, if its a silly question but I am beginner in scripting.

Refer http://docs.aws.amazon.com/powershell/latest/userguide/aws-pst-ug.pdf on how to get Invoke-KMSEncrypt

When I tried running this $input was a reserved variable so it would error out. If you're trying to run through this change to $inputstr or something else!

Thank you so much, I was able to make it work. Why is it so complicated?
Anyway, you made my day!

I would also like to share this link: https://fitch.tech/2019/05/29/aws-lambda-for-powershell-encrypted-environment-variables/
This seems to be a "shorter" way to do it, although, my PS skills are limited, and I was not able to pass the Key ID to that new KMS instance. I know how to pass it to the standard C# constructor, but was not able to with PowerShell.

Cheers
