Manage DEK keys (use with TDE) outside a Linux SQL Server (encryption decryption)

Question

Hello Everyone

I have a request regarding the management of encryption keys used on a linux SQL server (running on Azure Kubernetes services).

The SQL Server Linux documentation states that SQL Server for Linux does not support EKM (external DEK management for TDE encryption for example).
However, on this EKM doc, all SQL Server versions support EKM https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/security/encryption/extensible-key-management-ekm?view=sql-server-linux-ver15

Is it possible to use Linux SQL Server (in a Kubernetes container/pod), enable TDE encryption, and to manage the TDE key outside of it? For example, in an EKM ?
The goal is to encrypt and decrypt the DEK key outside the SQL server.

Do you know of an alternative ?

Thanks in advance.
