### Unified Disk Encryption recommendation (preview)
26+
27+
We have introduced a unified disk encryption recommendation in public preview, `Windows virtual machines should enable Azure Disk Encryption or EncryptionAtHost` and `Linux virtual machines should enable Azure Disk Encryption or EncryptionAtHost`.
28+
29+
These recommendations replace `Virtual machines should encrypt temp disks, caches, and data flows between Compute and Storage resources` which detected Azure Disk Encryption and the policy `Virtual machines and virtual machine scale sets should have encryption at host enabled` which detected EncryptionAtHost. ADE and EncryptionAtHost provide comparable encryption at rest coverage, and either being enabled on a virtual machine is recommended. The new recommendations detect whether either ADE or EncryptionAtHost are enabled and only warn if neither are enabled. We also warn if ADE is enabled on some, but not all disks of a VM (this condition isn't applicable to EncryptionAtHost).
30+
31+
The new recommendations require [guest config](https://aka.ms/gcpol).
32+
33+
These recommendations are based on the following policies:
