(Other Schedulers) Encrypt Portworx Volumes using Vault

You can use one of the following methods to encrypt Portworx volumes with Google Cloud KMS, depending on how you provide the secret password to Portworx:

Encrypt volumes using named secrets
Encrypt volumes using a cluster-wide secret

Encrypt volumes using named secrets

Create an encrypted volume by entering the pxctl volume create command with the following parameters:
- --secure
- --secret_key with the name of your named secret (this example uses key1)
- the name of the encrypted volume (this example uses enc_vol)
```
pxctl volume create --secure --secret_key key1 enc_vol
```
```
Encrypted volume successfully created: 374663852714325215
```
With Portworx, you can create two types of encrypted volumes:
- Encrypted Volumes. You can access a regular volume from a single node.
  If you are using Vault Namespaces, and your secret key key1 resides in a namespace called ns1 then use the following command to create an encrypted volume.
```
pxctl volume create --secure --secret_key key1 --secret_options=vault-namespace=ns1 enc_vol
```
```
Encrypted volume successfully created: 374663852714325215
```
- Shared Encrypted Volumes. You can access an encrypted sharedv4 volume from multiple nodes.
  To create a shared encrypted volume, you must specify the --sharedv4 parameter as follows:
```
pxctl volume create --sharedv4 --secret_key key1 --secure enc_shared_vol
```
```
Encrypted Shared volume successfully created: 77957787758406722
```
  Docker users:
  Use the following command to create an encrypted volume named enc_vol:
```
docker volume create --volume-driver pxd secret_key=key1,name=enc_vol
```
  To create an encrypted sharedv4 volume using a specific secret through docker, you must specify the -sharedv4=true option.
  Example:
```
docker volume create --volume-driver pxd sharedv4=true,secret_key=key1,name=enc_shared_vol
```

You can use the pxctl volume list command to list your volumes:

pxctl volume list

ID                      NAME        SIZE    HA SHARED   ENCRYPTED   IO_PRIORITY SCALE   STATUS
822124500500459627   enc_volume   10 GiB  1    no yes     LOW     1   up - detached

Attach your volume by entering the pxctl host attach command with the following arguments:
- The name of your encrypted volume (this example uses enc_vol)
- The --secret-key flag with the default vaule
```
pxctl host attach enc_vol --secret_key default
```
```
Volume successfully attached at: /dev/mapper/pxd-enc822124500500459627
```
Mount the volume by entering the pxctl host mount command with the following parameters:
- The name of your encrypted volume (this example uses enc_vol)
- The mount point (this example uses mnt)
```
pxctl host mount enc_vol /mnt
```
```
Volume enc_vol successfully mounted at /mnt
```
Docker users:
The following example command attaches and mounts an encrypted volume:
```
docker run --rm -it -v secure=true,secret_key=key1,name=enc_vol:/mnt busybox
```

Encrypt volumes using a cluster-wide secret

A cluster wide secret key is a common key that can be used to encrypt all your volumes. This common key needs to be pre-created in Vault. Portworx will use this cluster-wide secret as a passphrase to encrypt your volume.

Set the cluster-wide secret key. Enter the following pxctl secrets set-cluster-key command specifying the --secret parameter with the secret name you created in Vault (this example uses mysecret):

pxctl secrets set-cluster-key --secret mysecret

Successfully set cluster secret key!

caution

You must set the cluster-wide secret only once. If you overwrite the cluster-wide secret, the volumes encrypted with the old secret will become unusable.

If you are using Vault Namespaces use the following command to set the cluster-wide secret key in a specific vault namespace (this example uses ns1 as the vault namespace)

pxctl secrets set-cluster-key --secret_options=vault-namespace=ns1 --secret mysecret

Create a new encrypted volume. Enter the pxctl volume create command, specifying the following arguments:

--secure
The size of your encrypted volume (this example use 10 GiB)
The name of the encrypted volume (this example uses enc_vol)
```
pxctl volume create --secure --size 10 enc_vol
```
```
Volume successfully created: 822124500500459627
```
With Portworx, you can create two types of encrypted volumes:
- Encrypted Volumes. You can access a regular volume from a single node.
- Shared Encrypted Volumes. You can access an encrypted sharedv4 volume from multiple nodes.
To create a shared encrypted volume, you must specify the --sharedv4 parameter as follows:
```
pxctl volume create --sharedv4 --secure --size 10 enc_vol
```
```
Encrypted Shared volume successfully created: 77957787758406722
```

You can use the pxctl volume list command to list your volumes:

pxctl volume list

ID                      NAME        SIZE    HA SHARED   ENCRYPTED   IO_PRIORITY SCALE   STATUS
822124500500459627   enc_vol   10 GiB  1    no yes     LOW     1   up - detached

Attach your volume by entering the pxctl host attach command with the following arguments:
- The name of your encrypted volume (this example uses enc_vol)
- The --secret-key flag with the default vaule
```
pxctl host attach enc_vol --secret_key default
```
```
Volume successfully attached at: /dev/mapper/pxd-enc822124500500459627
```
Mount the volume by entering the pxctl host mount command with the following parameters:
- The name of your encrypted volume (this example uses enc_vol)
- The mount point (this example uses mnt)
```
pxctl host mount enc_vol /mnt
```
```
Volume enc_vol successfully mounted at /mnt
```
