Server-side encryption requests

In a production environment, clients often contact the Ceph Object Gateway through a proxy. This proxy is referred to as a load balancer because it connects to multiple Ceph Object Gateways. When the client sends requests to the Ceph Object Gateway, the load balancer routes those requests to the multiple Ceph Object Gateways, thus distributing the workload.

In this type of configuration, it is possible that SSL terminations occur both at a load balancer and between the load balancer and the multiple Ceph Object Gateways. Communication occurs using HTTP only.
