Platform/SRE — Plan: AWS KMS now GA with all three ML-KEM key specs, backed by FIPS 140-3 HSMs — evaluate adopting ML-KEM for workloads handling long-lived sensitive data as part of a PQC migration plan this quarter; no forced deadline, but the NIST IR 8547 roadmap signals classical key-exchange schemes will be phased out.
CI/CD — Skip
Leader — Learn: AWS KMS adding ML-KEM signals cloud providers are operationalizing NIST’s PQC standards; useful context for shaping a post-quantum cryptography roadmap, but no licensing change, cost impact, or deadline requires a decision now.
