Enhancing Security with EKM using Azure Key Vault in SQL Server on Linux: We’re excited to announce that Extensible Key Management (EKM) using Azure Key Vault in SQL Server on Linux is now generally available from SQL Server 2022 CU12 onwards, which allows you to manage encryption keys outside of SQL Server using Azure Key Vaults. In this blog post, we’ll explore how to leverage Azure Key Vault as an EKM provider for SQL Server on Linux. Azure Key Vault: The Bridge to Enhanced Security is a cloud-based service that securely stores keys, secrets, and certificates. By integrating Azure Key Vault with SQL Server, you can benefit from its scalability, high performance, and high availability. Refer Set up Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) Extensible Key Management with Azure Key Vault - SQL Server | Microsoft Learn for more details. Setting Up EKM with Azure Key Vault Here’s a streamlined version of the setup process for EKM with Azure Key Vault on SQL Server for Linux: Initialize a Microsoft Entra service principal. Establish an Azure Key Vault. Set up SQL Server for EKM and register the SQL Server Connector. Finalize SQL Server configuration. The full guide for setting up AKV with SQL Server on Linux is available here Set up Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) Extensible Key Management with Azure Key Vault - SQL Server | Microsoft Learn . For SQL on Linux, omit steps 3 and 4 and proceed directly to step 5. I’ve included screenshots below for your quick reference that covers the SQL Server configuration to use AKV. Run the below commands to enable EKM in SQL Server and register the SQL Server Connector as EKM provider. Please note: SQL Server requires manual rotation of the TDE certificate or asymmetric key, as it doesn’t rotate them automatically. Regular key rotation is essential for maintaining security and effective key management. Conclusion Using Azure Key Vault for EKM with SQL Server on Linux boosts security, streamlines key management, and supports compliance. With data protection being paramount, Azure Key Vault’s integration offers a robust solution.
