Encrypting virtual machines
I am pretty new into virtualization with KVM/QEMU and I have a security question. Which is the best way to encrypt virtual machines? Back when I was using windows, I enforced bitlocker on every drive on my computer. Now I have some windows installations on encrypted qemu containers. Should I stick with this approach or I should enforce bitlocker inside the virtual machines? Is there a performance issue, if I use both encryption approaches.
Thanks a lot
