Managed Object Storage encryption

UpCloud Managed Object Storage encrypts all the data it stores at rest, using server-side encryption with the AES-256 algorithm. Encryption is always on. UpCloud manages the encryption keys for you. To encrypt data with keys you manage yourself, see Encrypt Object Storage data with your own keys. For encryption across all UpCloud products, see Encryption.

Files are encrypted automatically when they're uploaded and decrypted when they're read, so applications and tools work with them as usual.

Encryption has a small cost in performance. On average, it reduces S3 transactions per second (TPS) by about 10%, because of the extra work of handling the keys and encrypting the data.
