Sorry for hijacking the thread with another topic 🙂

I've moved this specific plugin question here

> Wondering if the repository-gcs plugin is tls/ssl able for data transit to an encrypted gcs bucket? I assume it pushes data in the clear: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/repository-gcs-usage.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/repository-gcs-usage.html) If not, is there a way to augment or request enhancement? or is there a way to encrypt a snapshot on the fly before it hits the plugin? Thks!
