Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate AZ-500 Practice Question
Your company has an Azure virtual machine that runs Windows Server 2022 and currently uses Azure Disk Encryption with a customer-managed key. You must ensure that all data written to the VM's host cache and temporary disk is also encrypted at rest. Which action should you perform?
Replace the customer-managed key in Azure Key Vault with a Microsoft-managed key.
Enable Storage Service Encryption with customer-managed keys for each managed disk.
Disable Azure Disk Encryption, decrypt all disks, and then enable encryption at host on the virtual machine.
Enable encryption at host on the virtual machine without changing the current disk configuration.
Encryption at host encrypts data on the physical host before it is persisted, covering the OS disk, data disks, any host caching, and the temporary disk. However, encryption at host cannot be enabled on a VM while any attached disks are protected by Azure Disk Encryption. To meet the requirement you must first turn off Azure Disk Encryption and decrypt the disks; after that, you can enable encryption at host on the VM. Simply enabling encryption at host without removing ADE will fail, rotating keys has no impact on the host's cache or temp disk, and Storage Service Encryption does not cover the host cache or temp disk.
