April 2022 | Implementing Microsoft Azure Key Vault | Laird Wilson
Post date: Apr 01, 2022 10:56:27 PM
We'll build a basic .net web app in Microsoft Azure, create a Key Vault, add key vault secrets, and then build logic to retrieve and display those secrets. We'll further discuss best practices using Key Vault and how it potentially impacts CI/CD pipelines.
What is Azure Key Vault - We'll briefly review what Microsoft Azure is from a very high level before diving into Key Vault
Use cases - when should Key Vault be used and how should key vault be used in different environments (prod vs dev/test)
Requirements - Can legacy applications use Key Vault? What .net libraries are required? We'll also review authorization vs authentication, and firewall/network security requirements
Basic implementation - We see step by step how to put it in motion
