Re: PG Database Encryption

Thanks Laurenz, Team.

FYI, I am trying to contact the Cybertec team :) , i have following
queries

Queries:

The native Postgres does not mention about "Cluster-level encryption" at
page https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/encryption-options.html
Does this mean DB Cluster encryption* is not yet fully supported *by Native
Postgres release? ( and if we need this feature then better to rely on
Ubuntu deb packages from cybertec or download patch versions?

Request to share your known info in this regard which will help us to great
extent.

Thank You,
Ravi
