Azure Key vault
External Secrets Operator integrates with Azure Key vault for secrets , certificates and Keys management.
Authentication
At the moment, we only support service principals authentication.
Service Principal key authentication
A service Principal client and Secret is created and the JSON keyfile is stored in a Kind=Secret. The ClientID and ClientSecret should be configured for the secret. This service principal should have proper access rights to the keyvault to be managed by the operator
{% include 'azkv-credentials-secret.yaml' %}
Update secret store
Be sure the azkv provider is listed in the Kind=SecretStore
{% include 'azkv-secret-store.yaml' %}
Creating external secret
To create a kubernetes secret from the Azure Key vault secret a Kind=ExternalSecret is needed.
You can manage keys/secrets/certificates saved inside the keyvault , by setting a "/" prefixed type in the secret name , the default type is a secret. other supported values are cert and key
to select all secrets inside the key vault , you can use the dataFrom directive
{% include 'azkv-external-secret.yaml' %}
The operator will fetch the Azure Key vault secret and inject it as a Kind=Secret
kubectl get secret secret-to-be-created -n <namespace> | -o jsonpath='{.data.dev-secret-test}' | base64 -d
