Ensure Automatic Key Rotation is Enabled Within Azure Key Vault for the Supported Services

Why This Matters

When automatic key rotation is not enabled, you must manually update encryption keys in Azure Key Vault before they expire. This creates operational risk: expired keys can cause service disruptions for storage accounts, managed disks, and other dependent services that rely on those keys. Configuring auto rotation ensures keys are renewed automatically based on your organization’s policy, reducing administrative overhead and preventing unintentional downtime.
