+Virtual machines that employ full disk encryption I<internally to the
|
|
+guest> should not be considered for cloning and distribution, as it
|
|
+provides multiple parties with the same internal volume key, enabling
|
|
+any one such party to decrypt all the other clones. Refer to the L<LUKS
|
|
+FAQ|https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/-/blob/main/FAQ.md> for
|
|
+details.

Although virt-sysprep removes some sensitive information from the
|
|
guest, it does not pretend to remove all of it. You should examine
|
|
the L</OPERATIONS> above and the guest afterwards.
