Preparing Azure Resources

Creating Azure KeyVault

We create a resource group and an Azure KeyVault which includes our credentials like database,amqp, 3rd app credentials. You can change the variable values of KV_RG, KV_NAME or LOCATION. To prevent conflict KV_NAME ends with a random number.

KV_RG="superstore-test"
KV_NAME="superstore-test-$RANDOM"
LOCATION="westeurope"

az group create --name $KV_RG --location $LOCATION
az keyvault create --name $KV_NAME --resource-group $KV_RG --location $LOCATION

Created resource group and Azure KeyVault should look like the below after execution is completed.

Creating Secrets on Azure KeyVault

Following commands will create three secrets in Azure KeyVault. First one (catalogdb) includes a dummy mssql connection string with all required parameters and it could be passed a SqlConnection object directly.

But, other secrets (amqp-username and amqp-password) only contain specific parameters of an amqp connection string. Therefore, these couldn’t be passed directly to an application. For these two secrets, we will use json path support of operator to concatenate them.

az keyvault secret set --vault-name $KV_NAME --name "catalogdb" --value "Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;User Id=myUsername;Password=myPassword;"

az keyvault secret set --vault-name $KV_NAME --name "amqp-username" --value "adminusername"
az keyvault secret set --vault-name $KV_NAME --name "amqp-password" --value "secretpassword123"

az keyvault secret set --vault-name $KV_NAME --name "docker-config-json" --value '{"auths":{"srv":{"username":"usr","password":"pss","auth":"dXNyOnBzcw=="}}}'
