Azure Key Vault Service Limit
Hi, would like to under will the service limit apply on following operations?
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/key-vault-service-limits
WrapKey
UnwrapKey
EncryptWithAKey
DecryptWithAKey
Any clarification would be appreciated!
We have a high volume system and planning to use Azure Key Vault. Need to understand if limits are going to implicate our overall capacity planning.
Hi Nilay,
The service limit applies to the transactions you listed.
See the "Problem Statement" for the "Developer for an Azure application" in the link below:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/key-vault-whatis
For example, middle tier application can retrieve keys for signing and encryption from Key Vault, then use the keys to perform high volume signing or encryptions.

Thank you very much for your response. I have designed an application pattern based on this input.
Any opinion would be useful.

We are using Azure Key Vault for PCI-DSS and FinTech solution. Thus it was very much important to secure Application Secret at it best.
Thanks,
Nilay.
