It has now been updated to work with the latest OpenStack builds, using tools and processes based on their collective and vast OpenStack experience. OpenStack Open Source Cloud software is one of the most used cloud infrastructures to support a wide variety of use cases, from software development to big data analysis. It is developed by a thriving community of individual developers from around the globe and backed by most of the leading players in the cloud space today.

Enabling volume encryption


Cinder can manage the encryption of volumes, and it happens transparent to the guest. Encryption is enabled on a volume type level.

Getting ready

Encryption can be enabled either when creating a new volume type or added to an existing volume type that has no volumes in use. To enable volume encryption, you will need the following:

  • An openrc file with appropriate credentials for the environment

  • The openstack command-line client

  • The name of the volume type

  • Name of the encryption provider

  • Encryption control location

  • Encryption key size

  • Encryption cipher

For our example, these will be as follows:

  • Name: Cookbook Encrypted Volumes

  • Encryption provider: nova.volume.encryptors.luks.LuksEncryptor

  • Encryption control location: front-end

  • Encryption key size: 256

  • Encryption cipher: aes-xts-plain64

Note

The encryption-specific values you choose will be based on what is available in your particular environment. A detailed discussion of these values is beyond the scope of this book.
