# Tutorial: An overview of a customer-managed key encryption for your Azure Container Registry

Azure Container Registry, automatically encrypts the images and other artifacts you store. By default, Azure automatically encrypts the registry content at rest with [service-managed keys](../security/fundamentals/encryption-models.md). You can supplement default encryption with an additional encryption layer using a customer-managed key.

A customer-managed key gives you the ownership to bring your own key in the [Azure Key Vault](../key-vault/general/overview.md). The customer-managed key also allows you to manage key rotations, controls the access and permissions to use the key, and audit the usage of the key.

* **Automatically update the key version** - With a registry encrypted with a non-versioned key, Azure Container Registry regularly checks the Azure key vault for a new key version and updates the customer-managed key within 1 hour. So, we suggest omitting the key version when you enable registry encryption with a customer-managed key. So, that ACR automatically uses and updates to the latest key version.

So, we suggest specifying the key version when you enable registry encryption with a customer-managed key. So, that ACR will use a specific version of a key for registry encryption.
