Feature Support

The following sections describe some specific BOSH features supported by the CPI.

Network

The CPI supports multiple NICs being attached to a single VM.

Encryption

vSphere supports disk encryption and customer-managed keys when managed through policy configuration within the vCenter 6.5+ (learn more). For this functionality, encryption occurs at the hypervisor level which is transparent to the VM. Once enabled within vCenter, no additional configuration is required for the CPI.
