Configuring and Managing Azure Key Vault

Configuring and Managing Azure Key Vault starts with a key vault overview before moving on to authenticating and accessing Azure Key Vault as a user and as an application. We then deploy several key vaults to illustrate various creation, authentication, and access scenarios. Next, we create secrets and access them using the .NET and REST API interfaces. We then look at vault business continuity and backup options before seeing how to implement key rotation.
