Abstract
One or more aspects of the present disclosure relate to enhancing modular device snapshot-to-encryption-key associations. In embodiments, an input/output (IO) workload can be received at a storage array. The IO workload can include an IO request to write encrypted data on the storage array. The IO request's metadata can also be parsed for information such as snap parameters. Further, an encryption key identifier (ID) can be received from a host, and snapshots of a storage unit can be created with the parsed information and the key ID.
