Data Encryption in AWS

You can use HyTrust DataControl to encrypt any Linux or Windows data drive or Windows boot drive in AWS the same way you would any other drive in any other system.

If you want to encrypt a Linux root, swap, or system drive, you must first create a boot partition either on the existing AWS root volume or on a new AWS volume.
