Azure Key Vault — Secrets Management¶
AzureKey VaultSecuritySecrets 5 min read
Key Vault for secrets, keys, certificates. RBAC, Managed Identity and rotation.
Basic Operations¶
az keyvault create --name mykeyvault -g myRG --enable-rbac-authorization true
az keyvault secret set --vault-name mykeyvault --name db-password --value "S3cret!"
Managed Identity¶
var client = new SecretClient(
new Uri("https://mykeyvault.vault.azure.net"),
new DefaultAzureCredential());
var secret = await client.GetSecretAsync("db-password");
No credentials in code — Managed Identity authenticates automatically.
Rotation¶
- Event Grid notification on expiration
- Azure Functions as rotation handler
- Auto-rotation for Storage Account keys
Summary¶
Never hardcode secrets — always use Key Vault + Managed Identity.
