export default async function () {
  // List the KMS keys the AWS authentication configuration
  // gives us access to.
  const keys = await kms.listKeys();

  // If our test key does not exist, abort the execution.
  if (keys.filter((b) => b.keyId === testKeyId).length == 0) {
    exec.test.abort();
