Are you using Azure Key Vault already? You would need it to efficiently manage secrets, passwords & API keys.
Azure Key Vault provides a way to store credentials and other secrets with increased security.
It also provides: Secrets Management, Key Management & Certificate Management.
To access the key vault itself, you MUST first authenticate to Key Vault to retrieve the secrets.
Personally I have found it valuable for integration projects due to the following reasons:
- Very easy setting and retreiving them from code.
- Managing is seamless via Azure Portal.
- Logs are available to monitor access to key vaults.
- Seamless integration with other Azure services like app service, storages etc.
Start using them in 4 easy steps:
✅ Azure Portal: Create Azure Key Vault instance
✅ Azure Portal: Add roles to access your key vault
✅ Azure Portal: Create your secrets in key and value pairs.
✅ Code: Install the Azure Key Vault secret client library for .NET and Azure Identity client library packages
✅ Code: Read, Create or Delete secrets in your Key Vault.
Sample code below shows how to retrieve using the name of an existing secret in the vault.
