Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.

After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.

You are designing the encryption standards for data at rest for an Azure resource.

You need to provide recommendations to ensure that the data at rest is encrypted by using AES-256 keys. The solution must support rotating the encryption keys monthly.

Solution: For Azure SQL databases, you recommend Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) that uses Microsoft-managed keys.

Does this meet the goal?

Wait, can you really not rotate keys with TDE? That's odd!

I thought TDE was managed by Microsoft, so no control over keys.

But it doesn't support monthly key rotation, right?

TDE uses AES-256, so that's a plus!

I believe TDE does encrypt data, but I think it might not meet the goal since it doesn’t allow for manual key rotation like customer-managed keys would.

I’m a bit confused. I thought TDE was a good option, but I can't recall if it specifically supports AES-256 or if it uses a different standard.

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to consider key management options. I feel like this might not meet the requirement for rotating keys.

I think TDE with Microsoft-managed keys does encrypt data at rest, but I'm not sure if it allows for monthly key rotation.

Sweet, this seems straightforward. TDE with Microsoft-managed keys should meet the requirements nicely. I'll go with that and move on to the next question.

Okay, the key points are that we need to use AES-256 encryption and support rotating the keys monthly. I think the TDE solution with Microsoft-managed keys sounds like it could work, but I'll double-check the details.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully review the requirements to make sure I understand them fully before attempting a solution.

I've got a strategy - I'll start by eliminating the options that don't seem to fit, then focus in on the remaining ones to select the best answer.
