I second that, although I'll add that if you're on AWS you can also use
encrypted EBS volumes. You get a very similar effect, except all you
need to do is tick a checkbox (or set a CloudFormation attribute, etc.).
Also you can get unattended reboots without storing the key somewhere
vulnerable. There may be perf advantages too; I'm not sure.
Good luck!
Paul
