Managing Secrets with Azure Key Vault

Requirements​

Original task text was not present in the source file. Use the current lab objective to create and manage secrets with Azure Key Vault in a standard KKE format.

Note

This page was reconstructed from an empty source file to keep Level 3 documentation complete and consistent.

Prerequisites​

  • Azure CLI installed and authenticated.
  • Existing resource group available.
  • Sufficient permissions to create Key Vault and secrets.

Steps​

RG=$(az group list --query "[?contains(name, 'kml')].name" --output tsv)
KV_NAME="nautilus-kv-30001"
LOCATION="eastus"
SECRET_NAME="app-password"
SECRET_VALUE='S3cureP@ssw0rd!'

az keyvault create \
  --name "$KV_NAME" \
  --resource-group "$RG" \
  --location "$LOCATION"

az keyvault secret set \
  --vault-name "$KV_NAME" \
  --name "$SECRET_NAME" \
  --value "$SECRET_VALUE"

az keyvault secret show \
  --vault-name "$KV_NAME" \
  --name "$SECRET_NAME" \
  --query value -o tsv

Verification​

  • Verify vault exists:
    • az keyvault show --name "$KV_NAME" --resource-group "$RG" --query name -o tsv
  • Verify secret exists:
    • az keyvault secret show --vault-name "$KV_NAME" --name "$SECRET_NAME" --query id -o tsv
  • Verify secret value retrieval works.
