Azure Disk Encryption for Windows (Microsoft.Azure.Security.AzureDiskEncryption)

  • Alt

Overview

Azure Disk Encryption uses BitLocker to provide full disk encryption on Azure virtual machines running Windows. This solution is integrated with Azure Key Vault to manage disk encryption keys and secrets in your key vault subscription.

Prerequisites

For a full list of prerequisites, see Azure Disk Encryption for Windows VMs, specifically the following sections:

Extension Schema

There are two versions of extension schema for Azure Disk Encryption (ADE):

  • v2.2 - A newer recommended schema that does not use Microsoft Entra properties.
  • v1.1 - An older schema that requires Microsoft Entra properties.

To select a target schema, the typeHandlerVersion property must be set equal to version of schema you want to use.

The v2.2 schema is recommended for all new VMs and does not require Microsoft Entra properties.

{
  "type": "extensions",
  "name": "[name]",
  "apiVersion": "2019-07-01",
  "location": "[location]",
  "properties": {
        "publisher": "Microsoft.Azure.Security",
        "type": "AzureDiskEncryption",
        "typeHandlerVersion": "2.2",
        "autoUpgradeMinorVersion": true,
        "settings": {
          "EncryptionOperation": "[encryptionOperation]",
          "KeyEncryptionAlgorithm": "[keyEncryptionAlgorithm]",
          "KeyVaultURL": "[keyVaultURL]",
          "KeyVaultResourceId": "[keyVaultResourceID]",
          "KeyEncryptionKeyURL": "[keyEncryptionKeyURL]",
          "KekVaultResourceId": "[kekVaultResourceID]",
          "SequenceVersion": "sequenceVersion]",
          "VolumeType": "[volumeType]"
        }
  }
}

Schema v1.1: with Microsoft Entra ID

The 1.1 schema requires aadClientID and either aadClientSecret or AADClientCertificate and is not recommended for new VMs.

Using aadClientSecret:

{
  "type": "extensions",
  "name": "[name]",
  "apiVersion": "2019-07-01",
  "location": "[location]",
  "properties": {
    "protectedSettings": {
      "AADClientSecret": "[aadClientSecret]"
    },
    "publisher": "Microsoft.Azure.Security",
    "type": "AzureDiskEncryption",
    "typeHandlerVersion": "1.1",
    "settings": {
      "AADClientID": "[aadClientID]",
      "EncryptionOperation": "[encryptionOperation]",
      "KeyEncryptionAlgorithm": "[keyEncryptionAlgorithm]",
      "KeyVaultURL": "[keyVaultURL]",
      "KeyVaultResourceId": "[keyVaultResourceID]",
      "KeyEncryptionKeyURL": "[keyEncryptionKeyURL]",
      "KekVaultResourceId": "[kekVaultResourceID]",
      "SequenceVersion": "sequenceVersion]",
      "VolumeType": "[volumeType]"
    }
  }
}

Using AADClientCertificate:

{
  "type": "extensions",
  "name": "[name]",
  "apiVersion": "2019-07-01",
  "location": "[location]",
  "properties": {
    "protectedSettings": {
      "AADClientCertificate": "[aadClientCertificate]"
    },
    "publisher": "Microsoft.Azure.Security",
    "type": "AzureDiskEncryption",
    "typeHandlerVersion": "1.1",
    "settings": {
      "AADClientID": "[aadClientID]",
      "EncryptionOperation": "[encryptionOperation]",
      "KeyEncryptionAlgorithm": "[keyEncryptionAlgorithm]",
      "KeyVaultURL": "[keyVaultURL]",
      "KeyVaultResourceId": "[keyVaultResourceID]",
      "KeyEncryptionKeyURL": "[keyEncryptionKeyURL]",
      "KekVaultResourceId": "[kekVaultResourceID]",
      "SequenceVersion": "sequenceVersion]",
      "VolumeType": "[volumeType]"
    }
  }
}

Template deployment

For an example of template deployment based on schema v2.2, see Azure Quickstart Template encrypt-running-windows-vm-without-aad.

For an example of template deployment based on schema v1.1, see Azure Quickstart Template encrypt-running-windows-vm.

Note

Also if VolumeType parameter is set to All, data disks will be encrypted only if they are properly formatted.
