Hi @KannanCh2,
You can refer to the following document - 

Configure an Azure Key Vault


The general steps for integrating Azure Key Vault in AEMaaS would be as follow-

  1. Setup Azure Key Vault Key - Create new key vault instance, add secrets to the key vault & define access policies to read these secrets.
  2. Access Key Vault in AEM - Ensure IAM (Service Principal or Managed Identify) has permissions to access Key Vault, Then authentication with Key Vault from AEM Application (Azure AD Authentication, Client Certificates etc.) and finally using REST APIs (Azure Key Vault REST API reference) or Azure SDKs (Azure SDK for Java) to retrieve secrets from Azure Key Vault.

Hope this helps!
