AZ Key Vault

1. Log in to Azure

First, authenticate your local machine with Azure:

az login

If you have multiple subscriptions, set the one you want to use:

az account set --subscription "<your-subscription-id>"

2. Create an Azure Key Vault

Run the following command to create a Key Vault in a resource group:

az keyvault create --name demo-vault --resource-group <your-resource-group> --location <your-region>

🔹 Replace <your-resource-group> with your existing resource group. If you don’t have one, create it:

az group create --name demo-rg --location eastus

Then, create the Key Vault:

az keyvault create --name demo-vault --resource-group demo-rg --location eastus

3. Store a Secret in Key Vault

Let’s add a secret named demo-app with a sample value:

az keyvault secret set --vault-name demo-vault --name demo-app --value "super-secret-value"

You can add more secrets:

az keyvault secret set --vault-name demo-vault --name database-password --value "mypassword123"

4. Retrieve the Secret

Now, fetch the secret value:

az keyvault secret show --vault-name demo-vault --name demo-app --query value -o tsv

🔹 Expected output:

super-secret-value

If you want to retrieve and export it into a .env file:

echo "demo_app=$(az keyvault secret show --vault-name demo-vault --name demo-app --query value -o tsv)" > .env

For multiple secrets:

secrets=("demo-app" "database-password")

for secret in "${secrets[@]}"; do
    value=$(az keyvault secret show --vault-name demo-vault --name "$secret" --query value -o tsv)
    echo "$secret=$value"
done > .env

5. Verify `.env` File

cat .env

Expected output:

demo-app=super-secret-value
database-password=mypassword123

6. Grant Access to Your Machine (If Needed)

If you get a permission error, give your account access:

az keyvault set-policy --name demo-vault --upn <your-email> --secret-permissions get list

Or for a Service Principal:

az keyvault set-policy --name demo-vault --spn <your-client-id> --secret-permissions get list

7. Cleanup (Optional)

If you want to delete the Key Vault:

az keyvault delete --name demo-vault --resource-group demo-rg

Summary

Step	Command
Log in	`az login`
Create Resource Group	`az group create --name demo-rg --location eastus`
Create Key Vault	`az keyvault create --name demo-vault --resource-group demo-rg --location eastus`
Store Secret	`az keyvault secret set --vault-name demo-vault --name demo-app --value "super-secret-value"`
Retrieve Secret	`az keyvault secret show --vault-name demo-vault --name demo-app --query value -o tsv`
Export to `.env`	`echo "demo_app=$(az keyvault secret show --vault-name demo-vault --name demo-app --query value -o tsv)" > .env`
