Storage class reference
Review the storage class reference for the storage provider that you want to use in your Satellite clusters.
AWS EBS
Review the Satellite storage classes for AWS EBS. You can describe storage classes in the command line with the oc describe sc <storage-class-name> command. Note that data volumes are automatically encrypted by an AWS managed
default key. For more information, see Default KMS key for EBS encryption. For more information on AWS
EBS encryption, see How AWS EBS encryption works.
