Description

You can now enhance data security for your Azure Database for PostgreSQL workloads by using customer managed keys (CMKs) with Premium SSD v2 disks. Available in public preview, this update gives you greater control over how your data at rest is encrypted, allowing you to use your own keys stored in Azure Key Vault while continuing to take advantage of the high performance and scalability of Premium SSD v2 storage. CMKs are especially valuable if you operate in regulated industries or need to meet internal compliance requirements that specify customer‑controlled encryption and separation of duties. 

With this preview, you can manage key rotation and access policies according to your organization’s standards, while Azure continues to handle the underlying database operations and performance optimization. The result is a stronger security posture without compromising performance, availability, or ease of management for your PostgreSQL deployments on Azure.
