Amazon’s cloud storage Simple Storage Service (S3) now encrypts all new objects added on buckets server-side at no extra cost.

Existing Amazon S3 customers can verify that their objects are encrypted in the S3 section of the AWS management console, and confirm the change by configuring AWS CloudTrail to log data events(opens in new tab), albeit at an additional cost.
