Azure provides two primary options to secure your data at rest on virtual machines:
Storage Service Encryption (SSE) :
This is automatically enabled for all managed disks and encrypts data at the storage level using Microsoft-managed keys or customer-managed keys (CMK). It operates transparently and cannot be disabled.
Azure Disk Encryption (ADE) :
This is an optional feature that encrypts the OS and data volumes inside the VM using technologies like BitLocker (for Windows) and DM-Crypt (for Linux). ADE provides an added layer of security by encrypting data at the OS volume level, and it allows you to manage your own encryption keys via Azure Key Vault.
In this article, we will focus on configuring Azure Disk Encryption (ADE) for Windows Virtual Machines using PowerShell.
You’ll learn how ADE works under the hood, how to set it up securely using Azure Key Vault, and how to verify and manage the encryption status of your VM disks.
