I have an application I want to run in Azure that can use the KMIP protocol to communicate with key management servers. Does Azure Key Vault support KMIP? If so, were can I find the details?
Azure Key Vault does not have a KMIP interface.
Azure Key Vault has a REST interface, based heavily on the JSON Web Key standard. It is documented here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn903609.aspx

I have an issue how to auto renew Service Principals secrets in Key Vault Azure?
In short - you can't.
Azure KeyVault only provides the option to auto rotate keys. This feature enables end-to-end zero-touch key rotation for Azure services data encryption with customer-managed key (CMK) stored in Azure Key Vault.

What you are trying to achieve is different. Azure AD Service principals are managed by Azure AD. So, you need some sort of automation which generates a new secret there and updates it in keyvault.
A better way (if possible) would be managed identity. Managed Identities can be used like service principals but a fully managed and the secrets are managed behind the scenes for you.

From the Spring Vault offical site, it supports HashiCorp’s Vault, and there are some examples with HashiCorp’s Vault.
Does it support Azure key vault nativelly?
From the azure document, springboot starter is
<groupId>com.azure.spring</groupId>
<artifactId>azure-spring-boot-starter-keyvault-secrets</artifactId>
</dependency>
Can the spring valut integrated with the azure key vault?
If it can, how to do that?
Thanks a lot.

There is no official document for spring vault to integrated with azure key vault.
From this spring boot official document it only say about HashiCorp’s vault integration.There is no other cloud platform other than HashiCorp’s vault integrate with spring cloud vault
Spring Cloud Vault Config provides client-side support for
externalized configuration in a distributed system. With HashiCorp’s
Vault you have a central place to manage external secret properties
for applications across all environments. Vault can manage static and
dynamic secrets such as username/password for remote
applications/resources and provide credentials for external services
such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Apache Cassandra, MongoDB, Consul, AWS and
more.
But you can access the azure key vault using the access key in your spring boot application for that you can refer the same document
Reference : https://spring.io/projects/spring-vault#overview
In the documentation of ARM templates resources types, there is no Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults/keys resource type.
This means that it is not possible to create a key in an Azure key vault by using arm templates.
I would like to know if this is actually intended for security reasons maybe, or just not supported yet.
I am experimenting with the new server side storage encryption with customer manager keys and I would like to create the following in a single template:
Key vault
Key in the key vault
Disk encryption set
Because create key operation is not exposed with the ARM Rest API. Only with the Key Vault Rest API. But ARM Templates only operate against ARM Rest Api.
I have a custom activity that runs through and ADF pipeline, with an Azure Batch for the execution. The custom activity needs to access the Azure Key Vault, but I don't want to leave any secrets/keys coded in the custom activity.
How can I get the custom activity to use the service principal to access the Azure Key Vault? I have no problem coding access to the Azure Key Vault using the service principal credentials (appId and key), but I obviously don't want to leave a key in the code.
So the question is: How can an ADF Custom Activity, running in an Azure Batch, access the Azure Key Vault through a service principal?
Thanks!
This is similar to how to access Key Vault from a Azure Batch task. There are some ways to avoid hard-code the secrets in code. One is to use certificate which can be deployed to the Batch VM (https://samcogan.com/secure-credential-access-with-azure-batch-and-keyvault/), or you may use resource file (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/batch/batch-dotnet-get-started#resourcefiles) to provide the secrets.
We have hosted our application on Azure WebAPP and wanted to use SSL on this. Should we use traditional way to attach this certification to Azure WebAPP or should we user Azure Key Vault. Since access to Azure WebAPP through RDP is not available and Azure is managing our WebAPP, can certification be compromised (if the Azure key vault is not used)?
I can understand its usage in case of VM, but on Azure, WebApp does it add any value.
Azure Web App doesn't rely on Azure Key Vault for any of its functionalities.
However, if you are using App Service Certificate, then you end up configuring Azure Key Vault for storing the secret. Other use cases are also there, but those are from an application perspective.
