Usage

This package is designed for easily pulling and creating secrets in Azure key vaults.

pip install this public package

pip install git+ssh://[e-mail]/zypp-io/keyvault.git

Secrets to environment

This function sets the keyvault secrets to the runtime environment variables. This function will only work if you have set the required environment variables

from keyvault import secrets_to_environment

secrets_to_environment(keyvault_name="mykeyvault")

Get dotenv secrets

Function for reading the local .env file and capturing the secret_name, secret_value as key value pairs.

from keyvault import get_dotenv_secrets

get_dotenv_secrets(dotenv_file=".env")

Get keyvault secrets

This function can be used to pull secrets from the vault. This function will only work if you have set the required environment variables

from keyvault import get_keyvault_secrets

secrets = get_keyvault_secrets(keyvault_name="mykeyvault")
# Returns a dictionary containing secret_name, secret_value pairs

dotenv to keyvault

This function is designed for making it easy to upload sensitive project secrets to Azure key vault. The function reads the .env file and uploads the names and values to Azure key vault.

from keyvault import dotenv_to_keyvault

dotenv_to_keyvault(keyvault_name="mykeyvault", dotenv_file=".env")
# Uploads your current .env variables to azure key vault

Dict to keyvault

The function lets you upload a dictionary, where the key-value pairs are the secretname-secretvalues in Azure key vault.

from keyvault import dict_to_keyvault

dict_to_keyvault(keyvault_name="mykeyvault", secret_dict={'SECRET_NAME': 'secret value'})

It is also possible to add an expiry date or the content type of the secrets:

from keyvault import dict_to_keyvault
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
expiry_date = datetime.now() + timedelta(days=80)

dict_to_keyvault(
    keyvault_name="mykeyvault",
    secret_dict={'SECRET_NAME': 'secret value'},
    expires_on=expiry_date,
    content_type="text/plain"
)

Delete keyvault secrets

The function lets you delete secrets in the keyvault. Secrets will be deleted with soft_delete enabled.

from keyvault import delete_keyvault_secrets

delete_keyvault_secrets(keyvault_name="mykeyvault", secret_list=["SECRET_NAME"])

mandatory environment variables

There are 3 environment variables that are necessary for authenticating with the azure key vault. These variables always need to be present in the project in order for the secrets to be retrieved.

AZURE_CLIENT_ID=REPLACE-ME
AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=REPLACE-ME
AZURE_TENANT_ID=REPLACE-ME
