Abstract
Generally described, one or more aspects of the present application correspond to techniques for creating encrypted block store volumes of data from unencrypted object storage snapshots of the volumes. These encryption techniques use a special pool of servers for performing the encryption. These encryption servers are not accessible to users, and they perform encryption and pass encrypted volumes to other block store servers for user access. The encryption context for the volumes can be persisted on the encryption severs for as long as needed for encryption and not shared with the user-facing servers in order to prevent user access to encryption context.
