Use Azure Key Vault secret store in Kubernetes mode using Managed Identities
This document shows how to enable Azure Key Vault secret store using Dapr Secrets Component for Kubernetes mode using Managed Identities to authenticate to a Key Vault.
Contents
Prerequisites
Setup Kubernetes to use Managed identities and Azure Key Vault
-
Login to Azure and set the default subscription
# Log in Azure az login # Set your subscription to the default subscription az account set -s [your subscription id]
-
Create an Azure Key Vault in a region
az keyvault create --location [region] --name [your keyvault] --resource-group [your resource group]
-
Create the managed identity(Optional)
This step is required only if the AKS Cluster is provisoned without the flag "--enable-managed-identity". If the cluster is provisioned with manahed identity, than is suggested to use the autogenerated managed identity that is associated to the Resource Group MC_*.
$identity = az identity create -g [your resource group] -n [you managed identity name] -o json | ConvertFrom-Json
Below the command to retrieve the managed identity in the autogenerated scenario:
az aks show -g <AKSResourceGroup> -n <AKSClusterName>
For more detail about the roles to assign to integrate AKS with Azure Services Role Assignment.
-
Retrieve Managed Identity ID
The two main scenario are:
- Service Principal, in this case the Resource Group is the one in which is deployed the AKS Service Cluster
$clientId= az aks show -g <AKSResourceGroup> -n <AKSClusterName> --query servicePrincipalProfile.clientId -otsv
- Managed Identity, in this case the Resource Group is the one in which is deployed the AKS Service Cluster
$clientId= az aks show -g <AKSResourceGroup> -n <AKSClusterName> --query identityProfile.kubeletidentity.clientId -otsv
-
Assign the Reader role to the managed identity
For AKS cluster, the cluster resource group refers to the resource group with a MC_ prefix, which contains all of the infrastructure resources associated with the cluster like VM/VMSS.
az role assignment create --role "Reader" --assignee $clientId --scope /subscriptions/[your subscription id]/resourcegroups/[your resource group]
-
Assign the Managed Identity Operator role to the AKS Service Principal Refer to previous step about the Resource Group to use and which identity to assign
az role assignment create --role "Managed Identity Operator" --assignee $clientId --scope /subscriptions/[your subscription id]/resourcegroups/[your resource group] az role assignment create --role "Virtual Machine Contributor" --assignee $clientId --scope /subscriptions/[your subscription id]/resourcegroups/[your resource group]
-
Add a policy to the Key Vault so the managed identity can read secrets
az keyvault set-policy --name [your keyvault] --spn $clientId --secret-permissions get list
-
Enable AAD Pod Identity on AKS
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/aad-pod-identity/master/deploy/infra/deployment-rbac.yaml # For AKS clusters, deploy the MIC and AKS add-on exception by running - kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/aad-pod-identity/master/deploy/infra/mic-exception.yaml
-
Configure the Azure Identity and AzureIdentityBinding yaml
Save the following yaml as azure-identity-config.yaml:
apiVersion: "aadpodidentity.k8s.io/v1" kind: AzureIdentity metadata: name: [you managed identity name] spec: type: 0 ResourceID: [you managed identity id] ClientID: [you managed identity Client ID] --- apiVersion: "aadpodidentity.k8s.io/v1" kind: AzureIdentityBinding metadata: name: [you managed identity name]-identity-binding spec: AzureIdentity: [you managed identity name] Selector: [you managed identity selector]
-
Deploy the azure-identity-config.yaml:
kubectl apply -f azure-identity-config.yaml
Use Azure Key Vault secret store in Kubernetes mode with managed identities
In Kubernetes mode, you store the certificate for the service principal into the Kubernetes Secret Store and then enable Azure Key Vault secret store with this certificate in Kubernetes secretstore.
-
Create azurekeyvault.yaml component file
The component yaml uses the name of your key vault and the Cliend ID of the managed identity to setup the secret store.
apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1 kind: Component metadata: name: azurekeyvault namespace: default spec: type: secretstores.azure.keyvault metadata: - name: vaultName value: [your_keyvault_name] - name: spnClientId value: [your_managed_identity_client_id]
-
Apply azurekeyvault.yaml component
kubectl apply -f azurekeyvault.yaml
-
Store the redisPassword as a secret into your keyvault
Now store the redisPassword as a secret into your keyvault
az keyvault secret set --name redisPassword --vault-name [your_keyvault_name] --value "your redis passphrase"
-
Create redis.yaml state store component
This redis state store component refers to
azurekeyvault
component as a secretstore and uses the secret forredisPassword
stored in Azure Key Vault.apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1 kind: Component metadata: name: statestore namespace: default spec: type: state.redis metadata: - name: redisHost value: "[redis_url]:6379" - name: redisPassword secretKeyRef: name: redisPassword auth: secretStore: azurekeyvault
-
Apply redis statestore component
kubectl apply -f redis.yaml
-
Create node.yaml deployment
kind: Service apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: nodeapp namespace: default labels: app: node spec: selector: app: node ports: - protocol: TCP port: 80 targetPort: 3000 type: LoadBalancer --- apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment metadata: name: nodeapp namespace: default labels: app: node spec: replicas: 1 selector: matchLabels: app: node template: metadata: labels: app: node aadpodidbinding: [you managed identity selector] annotations: dapr.io/enabled: "true" dapr.io/id: "nodeapp" dapr.io/port: "3000" spec: containers: - name: node image: dapriosamples/hello-k8s-node ports: - containerPort: 3000 imagePullPolicy: Always
-
Apply the node app deployment
kubectl apply -f redis.yaml
Make sure that
secretstores.azure.keyvault
is loaded successfully indaprd
sidecar logHere is the nodeapp log of the sidecar. Note: use the nodeapp name for your deployed container instance.
