Questions and Answers
23.14.8.1: Does DRBD do mutual node authentication?
Yes, starting with DRBD 8 shared-secret mutual node authentication is supported.
23.14.8.2: Can I encrypt/compress the exchanged data?
Yes. But there is no option within DRBD to allow for this. You’ll need to leverage a VPN and the network layer should do the rest.
