**To create an alias for a KMS key** The following ``create-alias`` command creates an alias named ``example-alias`` for the KMS key identified by key ID ``1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab``. Alias names must begin with ``alias/``. Do not use alias names that begin with ``alias/aws``; these are reserved for use by AWS. :: aws kms create-alias \ --alias-name alias/example-alias \ --target-key-id 1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab This command doesn't return any output. To see the new alias, use the ``list-aliases`` command. For more information, see `Using aliases <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/kms-alias.html>`__ in the *AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide*.
