Enables the customer-managed encryption keys feature for the specified cloud service provider within the
organization.

For AWS and GCP enabling the customer-managed encryption keys feature is only required if no AWS or GCP cluster
respectively has ever been created in the organization.

The customer-managed encryption keys feature must always be enabled for Azure before Azure keys can be created.
This operation provisions a multi-tenant Azure Entra ID application for the organization, which is required for
Capella to access customer-managed encryption keys.
