Data Security Enforcements In Nova
Enterprises need to be compliant with data security laws and regulations that require sensitive data to be encrypted at rest (storage) as well in motion (over the wire). Nova has features such as transparent data encryption that can be utilized as part of a data security compliance plan. We propose implementing checks inside Nova that will ensure that such features are enabled. These checks will be triggered based on the presence of specific metadata defined on an image. Such declaration based enforcements can provide additional confidence to the operators tasked with setting up a secure cloud and thereby provide impetus to the enterprise adoption of OpenStack.
