create_version Method

Creates a new key version.

Syntax

def create_version(key_name: str) -> str: ...

Remarks

This method creates a new version of the key specified by KeyName and returns the Id of the version. Note that, for symmetric keys, the new version will not become the primary version; set_primary_version can be used to update the primary version if desired.

The key's current key_template_algorithm and key_template_protection_level are used to create the key version. To change the key's template algorithm prior to creating a new version, use the update_key method.
