In order to that you have to backup the generated secrets which does not reflect the philosophy of today DEVOPS. What is needed is a fully customizable deployment … created this ticket and possibly others have ideas too:

Hey @jamoser ,

maybe I’m wrong, but data-at-rest key is generated automatically only if you have not set `security.encryptionKeySecret`.

Can you generate this key and set it as a regular secret?

Hi @Sergey_Pronin

security.encryptionKeySecret : May be it would make sense if this is set by default in your /deploy example (like the user secret)

mongodb-key : do you happen to know for what this key is ?

Thanks  
John
