Applications that need to conform to PCI, HIPAA, or other regulations may need to encrypt data while it is in transit. Nowadays TLS is the de facto choice for encrypting traffic on the wire. TLS, like it's predecessor SSL, provides secure communications over a network using cyptographic protocols. TLS uses symmetric encryption where the keys to encrypt the data are generated based on a shared secret that is negotiated at the beginning of the session. The following are a few ways that you can encrypt data in a Kubernetes environment.

### Nitro Instances
Traffic exchanged between select Nitro instance types, e.g. M5n, M5dn, R5n, and R5dn, is automatically encrypted by default. When there's an intermediate hop, like a transit gateway or a load balancer, the traffic is not encrypted. The What's New announcement, [Introducing Amazon EC2 M5n, M5dn, R5n and R5dn Instances](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2019/10/introducing-amazon-ec2-m5n-m5dn-r5n-and-r5dn-instances-featuring-100-gbps-of-network-bandwidth/) provides additional information about these instance types.
Traffic exchanged between the following Nitro instance types C5n, G4, I3en, M5dn, M5n, P3dn, R5dn, and R5n, is automatically encrypted by default. When there's an intermediate hop, like a transit gateway or a load balancer, the traffic is not encrypted. See [Encryption in transit](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/data-protection.html#encryption-transit) and the following [What's new](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2019/10/introducing-amazon-ec2-m5n-m5dn-r5n-and-r5dn-instances-featuring-100-gbps-of-network-bandwidth/) announcement for further details.

### Container Network Interfaces (CNIs)
[WeaveNet](https://www.weave.works/oss/net/) can be configured to automatically encrypt all traffic using NaCl encryption for sleeve traffic, and IPsec ESP for fast datapath traffic.
