A capable colleague passed on a request from their client. They want to know if the VM disks are encrypted at rest, if the keys are rotated periodically, and if there's a key retention procedure in place. Ironically, the client's VPS runs on Ubuntu 18.04, which has been out of updates for a year, and despite numerous notifications to upgrade, they believe it can wait. 😄
