   (That could be realized via encrypting the whole compute-node disk,
but that's not quite what I want.)
Another benefit would be, that you as a cloud user wouldn't have to
worry about the provider accessing your data. (Encrypting every vms disk
for additional security.)

Or am I seeing this too worry-some?
