By default we do not ship an encrypted AMI, but we support the encrypted AMIs our customers create based on our AMIs and according to AWS instructions below:

1-    Launch a SoftNAS AMI

2-    ssh into the instance and delete this file --> /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules  

3 - Shutdown the instance            

4- Detach current root volume

5- Create a snapshot of the detached root volume

6- Create a new volume from the snapshot with "Encryption" enabled. NOTE: be sure to select the same AZ your instance in on and check the Encryption button! then select the default master key ((default) aws/ebs)

 

7- Attach the newly created root Volume with EBS encryption to the instance as /dev/sda1

8 - Create AMI image of the instance (named something like Encrypted SoftNAS AMI)

9- After creating the new AMI is done, create a new instance with the "Encrypted SoftNAS AMI"


Now any instances created with this AMI will have the root volume encrypted.
