Vm esxi 6.5
Disabled – vMotion Encryption not Enabled.There are 3 types of vMotion Encryption options: Key generation for vMotion Encryption is only performed by vCenter Server not performed by any Key Managers. During vMotion, All the data going across the network are encrypted with the help of randomly generated key by vCenter Server. When vMotion Encryption enabled Virtual Machine is migrated using vMotion, vCenter Server will randomly generate 256-bit key and the generated Key will be added in migration specification sent to both ESXi hosts participating in the Virtual Machine migration. VMotion Encryption also needs to be enabled per-VM level. When Encryption enabled virtual machines gets powered on, vCenter server as a KMIP client retrieves the key from the key manager and send that down to the VM encryption module in the ESXi hypervisor and unlocks the key.With that, All IO coming out from the virtual SCSI device goes through the hypervisor encryption module before it hits the storage module. When you applied the encryption policy to the Virtual machine, Randomly generated keys will be created for each virtual machine and also that key is also encrypted with the key from the Key Managers. This brings choice and flexibility to customers.

Key Management is based on the industry standard, KMIP 1.1. Since Encryption is not happening at Guest OS level, Guest don’t have access to the Keys. VM Encryption is policy drive and managed via policies. Once encryption policies are applied to the VM, VMDK and VM home files will get encrypted. You need apply the encryption policy to the Virtual machine using the Virtual Machine storage policies. It is also not rely on Guest operating system type too. New vSphere 6.5 Security feature called VM Encryption, Virtual Machine Encryption happens at hypervisor level and not in Guest OS. What’s New in vSphere 6.5 Security for Virtual Machines Virtual Machine Encryption With the latest release there are lot of new features are added to improve the vSphere 6.5 Security features. Security in Virtual infrastructure is always been an big challenge due to its scale of 1000’s of Virtual machines. I would say vSphere 6.5 is a turning point in VMware infrastructure security. I agree with the feature sets, availability and Scalability features of vSphere 6.5. This new release of vSphere features a dramatically simplified experience, comprehensive built-in security, and a universal app platform for running any app.

vSphere 6.5, the latest version of its industry-leading virtualization platform. VSphere 6.5 released with lot of new features that most of them were waiting for.
