Hello Community,

Wish to understand if there would be any cost for using Encryption at Host with PMK?

I understand Encryption at Host with CMK would be chargeable under Key Vault:

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/pricing/details/key-vault/

Specifically, under the heads Software-protected keys & Managed Azure Storage account key rotation.

Regards,

Aditya Garg

    Hi Aditya,

    There is no additional cost when using Platform Managed Keys with Encryption at Host. PMK doesn't use key vault so the two charging categories (Software-protected keys & Managed Azure Storage account key rotation) you mentioned do not apply.

    Please click Accept Answer if the above was helpful.

    Thanks.
