### Customer-Managed Encryption Keys (CMEK) for CockroachDB Advanced for Azure

This release introduces Customer-Managed Encryption Keys (CMEK) for CockroachDB Cloud Advanced clusters on Microsoft Azure. This feature provides enhanced data security and supports PCI DSS compliance.

CMEK enables customers to control the encryption keys used to protect their data at rest within CockroachDB Cloud on Azure. Keys are managed via the customer's Azure Key Vault.

Key benefits:

- Enhanced Data Security: Customers control key lifecycle (creation, rotation, revocation), improving data protection.
- PCI DSS Compliance: Addresses PCI DSS Requirement 3 for protecting stored cardholder data.
- Operational Control: Provides greater control and visibility over data encryption strategy.
- Data Revocation Capability: Enables immediate data access revocation by disabling the encryption key in Azure Key Vault.

This functionality is critical for organizations handling sensitive data and seeking PCI DSS compliance on the Azure Advanced Tier of CockroachDB Cloud.

For more information, refer to Customer-Managed Encryption Keys (CMEK) Overview and Manage CMEK for CockroachDB Advanced.

- You can now set unlimited resources for a cluster so your workload is never restricted.
- Organizations on the free plan will have at most one free serverless cluster (instead of the previous limit of five free clusters). Cockroach Labs will continue to maintain all existing free clusters with the new organization-level free resources.
- Organizations can now create 200 serverless clusters instead of the previous maximum of five total clusters.

For an in-depth explanation of CockroachDB Serverless pricing, refer to Pricing. For any questions or concerns, please contact Support.

### Security updates

- CockroachDB Cloud is transitioning to a new authorization model that offers fine-grained access-control (FGAC), meaning that users can be given access to exactly the actions and resources required to perform their tasks. Changes include cluster-level roles and consistent access management across users and service accounts. This feature is in limited access, and you can enroll your organization by contacting your account team. For more information, see Managing Access (Authorization) in CockroachDB Cloud.

- You can now use client certificates to authenticate to CockroachDB Dedicated clusters. First, a Cluster Admin needs to upload a CA certificate for the cluster using the Cloud API or Terraform provider. After that, individual users can be assigned client certificates signed by the uploaded CA certificate, which they can then use to connect to the cluster. This feature is in limited access, and you can enroll your organization by contacting your account team.

### Bug fixes
