Does Spring Cloud for Azure support AKV (keys)

In this microsoft learn article, I can only see the support to 'certificate' and 'secret'. For example, we can easily auto configured the SecretClient with the properties defined in application.yaml but not the KeyClient where we use in Azure SDK for Java for key encryption / wrapping key purposes.

The only way I can achieve key encryption with KeyClient is below but not robust at all


package com.hub4.springboot.config;

import com.azure.identity.DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder;
import com.azure.security.keyvault.keys.KeyClient;
import com.azure.security.keyvault.keys.KeyClientBuilder;
import com.azure.spring.cloud.service.implementation.keyvault.KeyVaultProperties;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

@Configuration
public class AzureKeyVaultConf {

	// I have defined necessary parameters in application.yaml
    @Autowired
    private KeyVaultProperties keyVaultProperties;

    @Bean
    public KeyClient keyClient() {
        return new KeyClientBuilder()
                .vaultUrl(keyVaultProperties.getEndpoint())
                .credential(new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build())
                .buildClient();
    }
}

Any better approach / alternative?
