Description
Currently there is an encryption key management plugin for AWS using KMS. It would be nice if similar functionality could be implemented for Azure.
Azure has Key Vault (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/key-vault/), which can be accessed using either the Azure CLI (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/overview?view=azure-cli-latest) or a REST API (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/keyvault/) and seems to provide similar functionality to AWS KMS.
MariaDB is well supported on Azure - https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/mariadb-in-microsoft-azure/
Key management is critical for encryption of data at rest.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/key-vault-developers-guide and specifically https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/keyvault/ describe the Key Vault API.
