Heya,
MicroCeph uses dm-crypt for encrypted storage devices during cluster deployment.
The microceph snap has required a manual connection to dm-crypt for some time. As we add more automation around deployment, this extra step is becoming a source of friction for users (additional cognitive load and manual setup).
To my knowledge there were no specific security concerns around the dm-crypt interface that required it to remain a manual connection. Given that, I’d like to request that the dm-crypt interface be changed to auto-connect for the microceph snap.
Thanks for considering this.
