Initrd created using systemd as init program
The systemd rd parameters for luks most be added to the kernel cmdline to know who is the encrypted root partition: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-cryptsetup-generator.html#Kernel%20Command%20Line
This initrd most not be using with LVM partitons, how ever it could be complemented adding services in an additional initrd
This is the flow of an initrd with systemd:
