Microsoft Azure Container Service Engine - Key vault referencing for k8s parameters
Overview
ACS-Engine enables you to retrieve the following k8s deployment parameters from Microsoft Azure KeyVault:
- certificateProfile
- apiServerCertificate
- apiServerPrivateKey
- caCertificate
- caPrivateKey
- clientCertificate
- clientPrivateKey
- kubeConfigCertificate
- kubeConfigPrivateKey
- etcdServerCertificate
- etcdServerPrivateKey
- etcdClientCertificate
- etcdClientPrivateKey
- etcdPeerCertificates (length of array depends on number of master nodes)
- etcdPeerPrivateKeys (length of array depends on number of master nodes)
- servicePrincipalProfile* (a special case)
Certificate Profile
For parameters referenced in the properties.certificateProfile
section of the api model file, the value of each field should be formatted as:
{
"<PARAMETER>": "/subscriptions/<SUB_ID>/resourceGroups/<RG_NAME>/providers/Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults/<KV_NAME>/secrets/<NAME>[/<VERSION>]"
}
where:
SUB_ID
- is the subscription ID of the keyvaultRG_NAME
- is the resource group of the keyvaultKV_NAME
- is the name of the keyvaultNAME
- is the name of the secret in the keyvaultVERSION
(optional) - is the version of the secret (default: the latest version)
Service Principal Profile
For the service principal profile secret, the keyvault is referenced differently. If embedding the secret as plain text, the secret is set in properties.servicePrincipalProfile.secret
.
If the secret is stored in a keyvault, it can be referenced as follows:
{
"servicePrincipalProfile": {
"clientId": "97ffd212-b56b-430a-97bd-9d15cc01ed43",
"secret": "",
"keyvaultSecretRef": {
"vaultID": "/subscriptions/<SUB_ID>/resourceGroups/<RG_NAME>/providers/Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults/<KV_NAME>",
"secretName": "<NAME>",
"version": "<VERSION>"
}
}
}
The version field is optional.
Example
The example kubernetes.json
shows you how to refer deployment parameter to a secret in a keyvault.
Important The secrets in the KeyVault for the Certificates and Private Keys must be Base64 encoded, and all on a single line -- this means you can't use the --encoding base64
option of the Azure CLI. Instead you should use the base64
command:
# On OSX base64 will not wrap by default
az keyvault secret set --vault-name KV_NAME --name NAME --value "$(cat ca.crt | base64 --break=0)"
# On Linux it will wrap at 76 chars by default
az keyvault secret set --vault-name KV_NAME --name NAME --value "$(cat ca.crt | base64 --wrap=0)"
KeyVault Configuration
To enable Azure Resource Manager to retrieve the secrets from the KeyVault, template deployment must be enabled on the KeyVault:
az keyvault update -g $RG_NAME -n $KV_NAME --enabled-for-template-deployment
