This integration guide outlines the process between Nutanix AHV and Enterprise Secure Key Manager (ESKM) to enable secure and centralized key management for data-at-rest encryption. Nutanix provides an option to secure data while it is at rest using either self-encrypted drives or software-only encryption and key-based access management (cluster's native or external KMS for software-only encryption). Nutanix uses open standards (KMIP protocols) for interoperability and strong security.
This guide walks through the configuration process for integrating Nutanix AHV and ESKM.
