Q20 Key Vault Domain 4 · 20–25% of exam Priority · Real Exam Choose 2

Which TWO settings must be enabled on a vault before its key can be used as a customer-managed key?

  1. A Soft delete (correct answer)
  2. B Purge protection (correct answer)
  3. C Public network access
  4. D The admin user
  5. E Multi-region replication

Shortcut: Services that encrypt data with a CMK require both, because purging the key would render the encrypted data permanently unrecoverable. Azure therefore refuses to accept a key from a vault where that is still possible.
