# Generating the Data Encryption Config and Key
Kubernetes stores a variety of data including cluster state, application configurations, and secrets. Kubernetes supports the ability to [encrypt](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/encrypt-data) cluster data at rest.
In this lab you will generate an encryption key and an [encryption config](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/encrypt-data/#understanding-the-encryption-at-rest-configuration) suitable for encrypting Kubernetes Secrets.
## The Encryption Key
Generate an encryption key:
```
$ ENCRYPTION_KEY=$(head -c 32 /dev/urandom | base64)
```
## The Encryption Config File
Create the `encryption-config.yaml` encryption config file:
```
$ cat > encryption-config.yaml <<EOF
kind: EncryptionConfig
apiVersion: v1
resources:
- resources:
- secrets
providers:
- aescbc:
keys:
- name: key1
secret: ${ENCRYPTION_KEY}
- identity: {}
EOF
```
Copy the `encryption-config.yaml` encryption config file to each master instance:
```
$ aws ec2 describe-instances --filters Name=vpc-id,Values=vpc-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx \
--query 'Reservations[].Instances[].[Tags[?Key==`Name`].Value | [0],InstanceId,Placement.AvailabilityZone,PrivateIpAddress,PublicIpAddress,State.Name]' \
--output text | sort | grep master
master-0 i-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ap-northeast-1c 10.240.0.10 xx.xxx.xxx.xxx running
master-1 i-yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ap-northeast-1c 10.240.0.11 yy.yyy.yyy.yy running
master-2 i-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ap-northeast-1c 10.240.0.12 zz.zzz.z.zzz running
for masternode in xx.xxx.xxx.xxx yy.yyy.yyy.yy zz.zzz.z.zzz; do
scp -i ~/.ssh/your_ssh_key \
encryption-config.yaml \
ubuntu@${masternode}:~/
done
```
