Rotating Encryption Keys

If you have enabled the Encrypt DataStore function in Advanced Settings during cluster creation, you can rotate the encryption keys for the cluster after the cluster is created successfully. When a normal cluster is converted to an encrypted cluster, you can rotate the encryption key for the cluster. Each key rotation will update the CEK once. During the key rotation, the cluster is still in Available status.
