solution to encrypt the virtual machine disks by using Bitlocker drive encryption ( BitLocker )

 We can use the Azure Premium Key Vault with Hardware Security Modules ( HSM ) backed keys.

The Key Vault  has to be in the same region as the VM that will be encrypted.


Note: If you want to use a key encryption key ( KEK ) for an additional layer of security for encryption keys, add a KEK to your key vault. Use the Add-AzKeyVaultKey cmdlet for create a key encryption key in the key vault. You can also import a KEK from your on-premises key management HSM.
