Features

• Unified API: A single, standardized interface for interacting with different cloud secret management services.
• Cloud Provider Support: Concrete implementations for both Azure Key Vault and Google Cloud Secret Manager.
• Secure Handling: Designed to promote best practices in secret management for cloud applications.
• Easy Integration: Simplifies the process of integrating secret management into cloud-based Python applications.

Installation

This package can be installed using pip:

pip install cloudsecretmanager

Usage

To use the Cloud Secret Manager, first import the appropriate class for your cloud provider:

from cloudsecretmanager.azure import AzureKeyVaultManager
from cloudsecretmanager.gcp import GCPSecretManager

Unified API Overview

The Cloud Secret Manager package is designed with a unified API, meaning it offers a consistent set of methods and interfaces for managing secrets, regardless of the underlying cloud provider. This unified approach simplifies secret management in multi-cloud environments and makes the code more maintainable and scalable.

The same set of methods (create, get) can be used for different cloud providers. This consistency greatly simplifies the learning curve when switching between or working with multiple cloud environments.

With a unified API, you can easily switch between cloud providers without significantly altering your codebase. This flexibility is crucial for scenarios where applications might migrate or span multiple cloud services.

Azure Key Vault Example

# Create an instance of AzureKeyVaultManager
azure_manager = AzureKeyVaultManager(vault_url="https://your-vault-url.vault.azure.net/")

# Create or update a secret
azure_manager.create(secret_id="your-secret-id", payload="your-secret-value")

# Retrieve a secret
secret_value = azure_manager.get(secret_id="your-secret-id")

Google Cloud Secret Manager Example

# Create an instance of GCPSecretManager
gcp_manager = GCPSecretManager(project_id="your-gcp-project-id")

# Create or update a secret
gcp_manager.create(secret_id="your-secret-id", payload="your-secret-value")

# Retrieve a secret
secret_value = gcp_manager.get(secret_id="your-secret-id")

Testing

The package includes unit tests for both Azure and GCP implementations. These tests are designed to ensure the integrity and correctness of the package functionalities.

To run the tests, you'll need to have Python and the necessary dependencies installed. You can run the tests directly using the Python unittest module from the root directory of the project.

Follow these steps to execute the tests:

1. Navigate to the root directory of the project.

2. Run the tests using the following command:

python -m unittest discover -s tests
