Is the data stored in a managed Postres database encrypted at rest?

Hello!

I'd like to confirm whether or not a Linode-managed Postgres database encrypts data when at rest. I was unable to find this information in the docs [1] I (quickly) skimmed. The the API docs [2] show an "encrypted" boolean in the json, so perhaps it's a feature that can be enabled if it's not the default. Thanks in advance!

I contacted support who confirmed that data is not encrypted at rest at this time.
