TDE is a database encryption technique that encrypts data at the column or table level, as opposed to full-disk encryption (FDE), which encrypts the entire database. To enable the encryption of the storage in Kubernetes, you need to modify the StorageClass resource. apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1 apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
