Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate AZ-500 Practice Question
You need to ensure a particular general-purpose v2 storage account provides two independent encryption layers for all future blobs at rest. The solution must use only Microsoft-managed keys, require no application changes, and involve minimal ongoing administration. What should you do?
Create an encryption scope that uses Microsoft-managed keys and assign it to new containers.
Require clients to upload each blob with both a customer-provided key and an encryption scope.
Configure encryption at host for the storage account.
Enable Infrastructure Encryption in the storage account's encryption settings.
Enabling Infrastructure Encryption on the storage account activates double encryption. Azure Storage first applies its standard server-side 256-bit AES encryption and then automatically encrypts the data again at the infrastructure layer with a different set of Microsoft-managed keys. This process is transparent to applications and requires no additional maintenance. An encryption scope with Microsoft-managed keys gives only one layer, customer-provided keys violate the requirement to rely solely on Microsoft-managed keys, and encryption at host applies to Azure disks, not storage accounts.
