Prelive key record state
A key record that is created in the prelive state can be made active or deleted.
The prelive state can be used in the following way:
The KMS administrator wants to test the creation of a key record without affecting the system. If the record is created correctly it can then be activated. If not created correctly the record can be deleted.
The KMS administrator wants to create a key record, but then only activate it at some time in the future. The reasons for this issue may include delay setting the record active until the KMS keystore has been backed up (or the pass phrase has been recorded). Or delay setting the record active until some future time.
Key records in the prelive state can be made active or deleted from the system.
