GCP Cloud Memorystore data encryption at rest

I am unable to find anything that explicitly states that GCP's Memorystore offering (redis) is encrypted at rest.

This document states that "Data at rest is encrypted by default in all Google Cloud Platform products. Read about the granularity of encryption by product.(link)"

https://cloud.google.com/security/encryption-at-rest/

When I click that link and it lists the granularity, however, it lists the specifics for many services, but does not list Memorystore.

Is the data in a GCP Memorystore instance encrypted at rest?

Solution

  • Cloud Memorystore for Redis does not currently support persistence. Therefore there is nothing to encrypt at rest.
