Applies to

  • ONTAP Cloud using Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  • AWS Key Management Service (KMS)
  • Data At Rest Encryption
  • AWS Elastic Block Storage (EBS)

Answer

  • AWS KMS encrypts the EBS volumes.   The encryption occurs at the AWS level and not within ONTAP.   
  • To verify the EBS volumes are encypted use the AWS portal to view the volumes.

Additional Information

  • To encrypt ONTAP volumes you must use NetApp Volume Encryption (NVE) with supported external KMIP servers.  For more information see the Cloud Manager Security document.
