Question
What is needed to use data-at-rest encryption?
Answer
Answer
If you want to use encryption at rest, you must use VMware vSAN Enterprise edition with a key management server (KMS) like KMIP for VMware on IBM Cloud.
The KMIP adapter “instance” exists to tie together the vCenter certificate and the Key Protect instance / root key. The KMS must be configured separately in vCenter.
For additional information about KMIP service, visit the following documents:
