# `/sys/rotate`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `/sys/rotate` endpoint is used to rotate the encryption key.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Rotate Encryption Key
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This endpoint triggers a rotation of the backend encryption key. This is the key
|
|
|
|
|
that is used to encrypt data written to the storage backend, and is not provided
|
|
|
|
|
to operators. This operation is done online. Future values are encrypted with
|
|
|
|
|
the new key, while old values are decrypted with previous encryption keys.
|

This path requires `sudo` capability in addition to `update`.
