Secret Store for GCP Secret Manager

This document shows how to enable GCP Secret Manager secret store using Dapr Secrets Component for self hosted and Kubernetes mode.

Create an GCP Secret Manager instance

Setup GCP Secret Manager using the GCP documentation: https://cloud.google.com/secret-manager/docs/quickstart.

Create the component

apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
  name: gcpsecretmanager
spec:
  type: secretstores.gcp.secretmanager
  metadata:
  - name: type
    value: service_account
  - name: project_id
    value: project_111
  - name: private_key_id
    value: *************
  - name: client_email
    value: name@domain.com
  - name: client_id
    value: '1111111111111111'
  - name: auth_uri
    value: https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth
  - name: token_uri
    value: https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token
  - name: auth_provider_x509_cert_url
    value: https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs
  - name: client_x509_cert_url
    value: https://www.googleapis.com/robot/v1/metadata/x509/<project-name>.iam.gserviceaccount.com
  - name: private_key
    value: PRIVATE KEY

To deploy in Kubernetes, save the file above to gcp_secret_manager.yaml and then run:

kubectl apply -f gcp_secret_manager.yaml

When running in self hosted mode, place this file in a components directory under the Dapr working directory.

GCP Secret Manager reference example

This example shows you how to take the Redis password from the GCP Secret Manager secret store.

apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
  name: statestore
spec:
  type: state.redis
  metadata:
  - name: redisHost
    value: "[redis]:6379"
  - name: redisPassword
    secretKeyRef:
      name: redisPassword
auth:
    secretStore: gcpsecretmanager
