Redshift datashare same account requires encryption

Question

Hello , I created datashare between serverless redshift workgroup and a provisioned redshift cluster ,

`
```
-- serverless

CREATE DATASHARE aggregated_tables
SET PUBLICACCESSIBLE = TRUE  ;

ALTER DATASHARE aggregated_tables
ADD SCHEMA public ;

ALTER DATASHARE aggregated_tables
ADD SCHEMA audience_insights ;

ALTER DATASHARE aggregated_tables
ADD ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public, another_schema ;

ALTER DATASHARE aggregated_tables
SET INCLUDENEW = TRUE FOR SCHEMA public;

ALTER DATASHARE aggregated_tables
SET INCLUDENEW = TRUE FOR SCHEMA another_schema;

GRANT USAGE ON DATASHARE aggregated_tables
TO NAMESPACE 'provisioned_namespace' ;
-- provisioned namespace

DESC DATASHARE aggregated_tables ; 
```

`

And on provisioned I ran :
`
```
-- Permanent redshift

CREATE DATABASE shared_aggregated_database
FROM DATASHARE aggregated_tables
OF ACCOUNT 'XXXXXX' namespace 'serverless_namespace';
-- serverless namespace

DESC DATASHARE aggregated_tables OF ACCOUNT 'xxxxxxx' NAMESPACE 'serverless_namespace';`

```

In the editor the shared_aggregated_database is empty

and when i ran a query directly i receive ERROR: The consumer and producer cluster have different encryption type.

Serverless is encrypted by default , provisioned cluster is NOT , they are both on same aws account .

In documentations it only mentions encryption for CROSS ACCOUNT ACCESSS

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/considerations.html

***or is it also required for same account ??***

Accepted Answer

@zied Amazon Redshift data sharing can happen between two Redshift homogenous environments - by this i mean if one of them is encrypted then the other one will also need to be encrypted. Since Amazon Redshift Serverless is encrypted by default and if you are doing data sharing with a provisioned cluster it has to be encrypted as well. I understand this is not clearly documented and I will check on this with the documentation team. 
Please feel free to comment if you have any questions.

Hello,

For cross-account and cross-Region data sharing, both the producer and consumer clusters and serverless namespaces must be encrypted. This is for security purposes. However, they don't need to share the same encryption key.
Ref - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/considerations.html

Kindly please check and confirm if both provisioned cluster and serverless namespace are in same region or different region.

Thank you !
