Is data encryption in flight supported with the essentials license?  
Just wanted to make sure data is encrypted during the replication process from one node to another.

Portworx never sees unencrypted data: data stays encrypted at rest and over the wire. Backups of volumes are also encrypted.

I believe this is included, I did not test though.
