# pg_tde 2.0 ({{date.GA20}}) |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The `pg_tde` by Percona extension brings [Transparent Data Encryption (TDE)](../index/about-tde.md) to PostgreSQL and enables you to keep sensitive data safe and secure. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[Get Started](../install.md){.md-button} |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Release Highlights |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### WAL encryption is now generally available |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The WAL (Write-Ahead Logging) encryption feature is now fully supported and production-ready, it adds secure write-ahead logging to `pg_tde`, expanding Percona's PostgreSQL encryption coverage by enabling secure, transparent encryption of write-ahead logs using the same key infrastructure as data encryption. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### WAL encryption upgrade limitation |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Clusters that used WAL encryption in the beta release (`pg_tde` 1.0 or older) cannot be upgraded to `pg_tde` 2.0. The following error indicates that WAL encryption was enabled: |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sql |
||||||
|
FATAL: principal key not configured |
||||||
|
HINT: Use pg_tde_set_server_key_using_global_key_provider() to configure one. |
||||||
|
``` |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Clusters that did not use WAL encryption in beta can be upgraded normally. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Documentation updates |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Updated the [Limitations](../index/tde-limitations.md) topic, it now includes WAL encryption limitations and both supported and unsupported WAL tools |
||||||
|
* [PG-1858 :octicons-link-external-16:](https://perconadev.atlassian.net/browse/PG-1858) - Added a new topic for [Backup with WAL encryption enabled](../how-to/backup-wal-enabled.md) that includes restoring a backup created with WAL encryption |
||||||
|
* [PG-1832 :octicons-link-external-16:](https://perconadev.atlassian.net/browse/PG-1858) - Added documentation for using the `pg_tde_archive_decrypt` and `pg_tde_restore_encrypt` utilities. These tools are now covered in [CLI Tools](../command-line-tools/cli-tools.md) to guide users on how to archive and restore encrypted WAL segments securely |
||||||
|
* [PG-1740 :octicons-link-external-16:](https://perconadev.atlassian.net/browse/PG-1740) - Updated documentation for [uninstalling `pg_tde`](../how-to/uninstall.md) with WAL encryption enabled and improved the uninstall instructions to cover cases where TDE is disabled while WAL encryption remains active |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Known issues |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* The default `mlock` limit on Rocky Linux 8 for ARM64-based architectures equals the memory page size and is 64 Kb. This results in the child process with `pg_tde` failing to allocate another memory page because the max memory limit is reached by the parent process. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To prevent this, you can change the `mlock` limit to be at least twice bigger than the memory page size: |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* temporarily for the current session using the `ulimit -l <value>` command. |
||||||
|
* set a new hard limit in the `/etc/security/limits.conf` file. To do so, you require the superuser privileges. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Adjust the limits with caution since it affects other processes running in your system. |
||||||
