Explanation

To encrypt an Azure Storage account using a customer-managed key (CMK) stored in Azure Key Vault, you must navigate to the Storage account's Encryption settings and select 'Customer-managed keys' (Use your own key), then specify the Key Vault and key to use. This leverages Azure Key Vault integration with Storage Service Encryption (SSE), giving the customer control over the encryption keys rather than relying on Microsoft-managed keys. The Key Vault must have soft-delete and purge protection enabled, and the storage account must be granted access to the Key Vault via a managed identity or access policy.
