Public preview: Azure Disk Encryption

Azure Disk Encryption for virtual machines (VMs) helps you address organizational security and compliance requirements by encrypting your VM disks (including boot and data disks) with keys and policies you control in Azure Key Vault.Disk Encryption for VMs works for Linux and Windows operating systems. It also uses Key Vault to help you safeguard, manage, and audit use of your disk encryption keys. All the data in your VM disks is encrypted at rest by using industry-standard encryption technology in your Azure Storage accounts. The Disk Encryption solution for Windows is based on Microsoft BitLocker Drive Encryption, and the Linux solution is based on dm-crypt.For more information, see [Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/virtual-machines/). * Key Vault * Virtual Machines * Features * [ Key Vault](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/products/key-vault/) * [ Virtual Machines](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/products/virtual-machines/)
