# Create Encrypted Kubernetes Cluster

E2E Networks enables users to launch encrypted Kubernetes clusters to ensure protection of data at rest and in transit. Encryption is applied at the disk level using LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup), ensuring robust and seamless data protection across both control plane and worker machines.
