I am pretty new into virtualization with KVM/QEMU and I have a security question. Which is the best way to encrypt virtual machines? Back when I was using windows, I enforced bitlocker on every drive on my computer. Now I have some windows installations on encrypted qemu containers. Should I stick with this approach or I should enforce bitlocker inside the virtual machines? Is there a performance issue, if I use both encryption approaches.
Thanks a lot

OK, it took me a while but I figured out a few things.
First of all, qcow2 images is not the fastest way to go. Currently, since I have several physical disks in my server, I pass through whole partitions to my VMs Add physical partition to QEMU/KVM virtual machine in virt-manager
Then I passthrough the TPM module in my VM.
This allows me to encrypt drives with bitlocker as if I had a real PC.
I hope this helps.
