Kubernetes Encryption
E2E Networks' Kubernetes Node Encryption ensures the protection and confidentiality of data stored within Kubernetes worker nodes. By encrypting node storage at rest, E2E safeguards workloads against unauthorized access—even in the event of hardware compromise or security breaches. Using industry-standard encryption practices and seamless integration with key management, this feature ensures both application data and system volumes remain secure. Encryption is implemented transparently at the infrastructure level, delivering robust security with minimal impact on performance, making it suitable for production workloads and compliance-sensitive environments.
How E2E Networks Kubernetes encryption works
- You can enable encryption for Kubernetes on E2E Networks. When creating a Kubernetes, users can enable encryption by selecting the "Enable Encryption" checkbox. Additionally, an optional passphrase can be provided to further enhance the security of the encrypted Kubernetes.
- E2E Networks uses LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup) to deliver full disk encryption for Kubernetes infrastructure. This encryption is applied at the block level, securing the underlying storage devices used by Kubernetes. The default configuration uses the aes-xts-plain64 cipher along with a 512-bit key, ensuring high-grade security for both system and application storage.
- When the master Node of the Kubernetes is encrypted during cluster creation, all initial and future worker Nodes are automatically encrypted. This means any autoscaled or static added workers will also have encryption enabled by default—ensuring consistent security across the entire Kubernetes environment.
- With seamless encryption management through the MyAccount portal, E2E Networks empowers teams to safeguard Kubernetes environments, meet regulatory requirements, and confidently run sensitive workloads in a secure, cloud-native infrastructure.
