A variant of the Program.cs from Tim's answer above, but for apps registered with Azure App Registration:

namespace Sample
{
   public class Program
   {
       public static void Main(string[] args)
       {
           CreateHostBuilder(args).Build().Run();
       }

       public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
     Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
         .ConfigureAppConfiguration((context, config) =>
         {
             var keyVaultEndpoint = GetKeyVaultEndpoint();
             if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(keyVaultEndpoint))
             {
                 var azureServiceTokenProvider = new AzureServiceTokenProvider(keyVaultEndpoint);
                 var keyVaultClient = new KeyVaultClient(
                     new KeyVaultClient.AuthenticationCallback(
                         azureServiceTokenProvider.KeyVaultTokenCallback));
                 
                 SqlColumnEncryptionAzureKeyVaultProvider sqlColumnEncryptionAzureKeyVaultProvider = new SqlColumnEncryptionAzureKeyVaultProvider(new KeyVaultClient.AuthenticationCallback(
                         azureServiceTokenProvider.KeyVaultTokenCallback));
                 SqlConnection.RegisterColumnEncryptionKeyStoreProviders(customProviders: new Dictionary(capacity: 1, comparer: StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
                 {
                     {
                         SqlColumnEncryptionAzureKeyVaultProvider.ProviderName, sqlColumnEncryptionAzureKeyVaultProvider
                     }
                 });
             }
         })
        .ConfigureWebHostDefaults(webBuilder =>
        {
            webBuilder.UseStartup();
        });

       private static string GetKeyVaultEndpoint() => "RunAs=App;AppId=;TenantId=.onmicrosoft.com;AppKey=";
   }
