The versions need to be updated. And we didn't verify ADE in RHEL-8.0 in Azure so not sure if we can say it here. We support NBDE. Here's the discussion about NBDE and ADE in Azure: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1605033

Hi Yuxin! A couple of questions/comments:

--> The summary mentions that "the versions need to be updated."  This comment might be based on an older version of the doc. Can I ask what version reference you are referring to?  I've included a link to the current doc[1]. 

--> We mention disk encryption in one place in the current doc.  Under VM Configuration Settings[2], we tell readers, "Do not use full disk encryption for the operating system disk. Red Hat does not currently support operating system disk encryption for RHEL VMs in Microsoft Azure. Data disks can be encrypted." Perhaps a specific mention of ADE was removed sometime after this bug was created.  

--> I can plan to add a mention of NBDE per the fixed bug you referenced (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1605033).

Sorry I cannot find the version either. Perhaps the version info was already removed. Please ignore this.

Yes. Seems ADE was removed.
As I known that the NBDE can only support data disk encryption. Perhaps ADE can support os disk encryption but it's maintained by MSFT and not supported by us. So that Red Hat supported disk encryption in Azure is that using NBDE to encrypt data disk. Please help to check that whether we need to mention NBDE here.

OK. Thanks!

The task in comment 3 has been verified. And the ADE part has been removed. I'd like to close this BZ.
