How to fix it

Encryption at rest can only be set when the cache is created. Re-create the cache with the at-rest encryption option enabled.

  1. In the AppSync console, open the affected GraphQL API and choose Caching.
  2. Delete the existing cache.
  3. Create a new cache and enable Encryption at rest before saving.
