What changes are proposed in this pull request?

In MLflow 2.14.3, a function was added (_parse_aws_sse_credential) that extracted the KMS key for acquiring write credentials for registration to UC. Prior to this release, the KMS authentication relied on the default account that was being used, meaning that the bucket defaults would be used, allowing for cross-account encryption capabilities.
To restore the original behavior, this PR pulls the full ARN for authentication instead of parsing out the key / value pair, which breaks the multi-tenant workflow.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes a regression introduced in MLflow 2.14.3 where KMS key authentication for Unity Catalog model registration was broken for cross-account encryption scenarios. The fix restores the original behavior by using the full KMS key ARN instead of parsing out just the key ID.

Changes:

  • Modified _parse_aws_sse_credential to pass the full KMS ARN to AWS S3's SSEKMSKeyId parameter instead of extracting only the key ID
  • Updated test expectations to reflect that the full ARN is now used

Reviewed changes

Copilot reviewed 2 out of 2 changed files in this pull request and generated no comments.

File Description
mlflow/utils/_unity_catalog_utils.py Removed the key ID parsing logic and now passes the full aws_kms_key_arn directly to the SSEKMSKeyId parameter
tests/utils/test_unity_catalog_utils.py Updated test data to use a realistic full KMS ARN format and verify the expected output includes the full ARN
