We are thrilled to announce the General Availability of the Customer Key Onboarding Automation Service, a game-changer for organizations in highly regulated industries. This feature has been designed to streamline and simplify your onboarding process for Customer Key, delivering significant time savings and efficiency improvements.

Key Benefits:

Faster Onboarding: The average onboarding process duration has been reduced from 1.5 weeks to just one hour. You can now seamlessly register your subscriptions, automatically verify the configuration of your Azure Key Vault and subscription resources, and onboard your tenant without needing email communication with Microsoft.
Enhanced Feedback: The service now provides detailed configurations needed for each resource. Intuitive feedback includes specific error messages and guidance on what needs to be fixed, making the process even smoother.

Unsupported Scenarios:

However, we plan to expand the service’s capabilities to include these scenarios in the future.

Government tenants
Tenants using managed HSMs will still require manual onboarding.

For more information on how to use the Customer Key Onboarding Automation Service, please visit Onboard using the Customer Key Onboarding Service.

We are excited about the improvements this service brings and look forward to continuing to enhance your experience with Microsoft 365.

Sincerely,

The M365 Data-at-Rest Encryption Team
