Answer
- There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the best way to kernsafely mount a virtual encrypted disk or an iSCSI disk may vary depending on the specific configuration and setup of your system.

iSCSI virtual disks are a type of virtual hard drive that can be used to store data. They are created using the iSCSI initiator software and can be accessed using the iSCSI target software.
A virtual encrypted disk is a file system that allows users to store their data in a secure way, without having to use a physical disk.
There are a few ways to encrypt a VM disk. The most common way is to use a virtual disk encryption (VDE) feature in the virtualization software. You can also encrypt the disk using a hardware-based encryption module or an encryption key that you create yourself.
There are a few ways to create an iSCSI virtual disk. One way is to use the iSCSI Initiator in your storage system. The other way is to use a storage area network (SAN) and attach the virtual disk to an iSCSI target.
There is a big difference between iSCSI and Fibre Channel. iSCSI is a protocol for transmitting data over networks, while Fibre Channel is a physical layer standard for connecting storage devices.
Azure VM disks are not encrypted.
VM encryption policy defines the encryption method to be used for virtual machines. The default policy is to use VM encryption with a key stored in the virtual machine.
Azure disks are encrypted at rest, however Azure Key Vault can decrypt data in case of a need.
Azure VM encryption is enabled by default and can be verified by navigating to the Azure portal, selecting your resource group, and clicking on the Security & Compliance icon. From there, you will see a list of your VMs and their encryption status.
Encrypting a VM is a good idea if you want to protect it from unauthorized access, but there are some caveats. First, if the encryption key is lost or stolen, the VM will be inaccessible. Second, even if the key is secured, if someone has access to the host machine on which the VM is running, they can decrypt the data.
Azure uses AES-256 encryption for VM disk encryption.
