Hi Michael, I dunno how the integration is going regarding the encrypted images, but you can if you can use encrypted images with qemu/ qemu-kvm. If your disk is an encrypted qcow2 image, by typing "cont" in the qemu/ qemu-kvm monitor, you would see something like this : QEMU 0.11.0 monitor - type 'help' for more information (qemu) cont ide0-hd0 (encrypted.qcow2) is encrypted. Password: ******** (qemu) By providing your password, the instance should boot normally. I haven't noticed any perf. issues, since once the image is decrypted, it acts like a normal image. Maybe you weren't thinking to that encryption ?
