Azure AI Search version 2024-07-01 changes

Question

Hi Team,

I am trying to create an index on a search service that has enforced the encryption policy. I am able to create an index on the 2024-05-01-preview version when I provide the details of the encryption in the index definition. However when I use the same details and try to create an index with the 2024-07-01 I get the following error.

Cannot find nested property 'identity' on the resource type 'Microsoft.Azure.Search.V2024_07_01.EncryptionKey

I can see as per the docs here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/searchservice/indexes/create?view=rest-searchservice-2024-07-01&tabs=HTTP#searchresourceencryptionkey

and here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/searchservice/indexes/create?view=rest-searchservice-2024-05-01-preview&tabs=HTTP#searchresourceencryptionkey

the latest version(2024-07-01) does not include the "identity" parameter in the encryption definition but the preview version(2024-05-01-preview) does include it.

My question is will this be included in the latest version?

If not then what can be done here since as per the encryption policy that has been setup for my resource I need to use the 'identity' property as we are using managed-identity for accessing the keyvault. Without this I I cannot use the latest version and would have to use the preview version which seems fine for now but since it is in preview I am assuming that it is going to be deprecated sometime in the future.

Akundy, Vyas, Following-up on this from my previous comment.

The user-assigned managed identity feature is currently supported only in preview versions and not in GA versions. It remains a preview feature; we do not have an ETA to share on the GA release yet.  I’ll post back as soon as I have more updates.

 

You may also keep a tab on Azure AI Search release notes and API version lifecycle for any updates or changes in future releases.

Kindly be assured that I have relayed the feedback internally to our product engineering team.
