Automated key rotation in [Key Vault](../general/overview.md) allows users to configure Key Vault to automatically generate a new key version at a specified frequency. For more information about how keys are versioned, see [Key Vault objects, identifiers, and versioning](../general/about-keys-secrets-certificates.md#objects-identifiers-and-versioning).

This feature enables end-to-end zero-touch rotation for encryption at rest for Azure services with customer-managed key (CMK) stored in Azure Key Vault. Please refer to specific Azure service documentation to see if the service covers end-to-end rotation.

> Key rotation generates a new key version of an existing key with new key material. Ensure that your data encryption solution uses versioned key uri to point to the same key material for encrypt/decrypt, wrap/unwrap operations to avoid disruption to your services. All Azure services are currently following that pattern for data encryption.
