Description

I recently open sourced a Azure KeyVault based EnvironmentEncryptor.

To get it working and not losing the CipherEnvironmentEncryptor, I created a CompositeEnvironmentEncryptor.
What do you think about the CompositeEnvironmentEncryptor, is that something useful for the config server project?
What do you think about multiple EnvironmentEncryptors for a config server at the same time?

Research direction

Start by reading the EnvironmentEncryptor and CipherEnvironmentEncryptor entry points in the config server, then review the linked KeyVaultEnvironmentEncryptor and CompositeEnvironmentEncryptor implementations. The issue asks whether multiple encryptors should be supported, but does not define an acceptance test or concrete API; done would require a decided design and documented behavior.
