Preview: Cloud EKM supports external key migration.

Preview: Cloud EKM supports external key migration. For keys with the EXTERNAL or EXTERNAL_VPC protection levels, you can create new key versions with either of these protection levels. You can also change the protection level of existing external key versions to change how you access your existing key material with zero downtime and without reconfiguring your applications.

For more information about migrating external keys, see Migrate external keys.
