If any decryption of your data occurs on AWS hardware (i.e. if your software in AWS has access to your unencrypted data), then wouldn't AWS also have access to it if they wanted? Even with encrypted volumes, etc, the decrypted data is present in memory, AWS controls the box with the memory in it.

Yep, this is how computers work. Not saying this to be snarky, just... it's surprising how many people don't know this. And when I say 'people' I mean 'Professional Software Engineers with Years of Experience in the Industry'
