That's an interesting point. Storing the key in Cosmos DB might be more efficient for our scenario.

I think creating a data encryption key using the Cosmos DB SDK is the way to go. It's more closely tied to the application.

But wouldn't creating a customer-managed key give us more control over the encryption process?

I disagree. I believe we should create an Azure AD managed identity and assign it to a new Key Vault instance.

Haha, good one, Candidate 5. But seriously, I think the correct answer here is to create a new container with an encryption policy that includes the JSON properties we want to encrypt. That way, we get the benefits of Always Encrypted without having to worry about managing the keys ourselves.
