Unlike the docker container, the keys will be saved so on a reboot your keys are not lost.</p> <p>So what exactly is this for? Well, in my use-case, I will be using this server to encrypted virtual machine files and drives.</p> <p>For this tutorial, we will be using self-signed certs and this keys will be stored in a sqlite database. This is not secure at all! However, it will allow you to evaluate and learn the KMS functions within vCenter.</p>
