Hi @swchandu,
I'm not clear about your Elasticsearch hosting. Are you using Elastic Cloud, on-prem or ECK?

Thanks for confirming. By using Docker do you mean you're using ECE or ECK?
I know encryption at rest is included in the Elastic Cloud offering, and it looks like for ECE you would need to configure a tool such as `dm-crypt`:
