# Encrypted volumes with Azure Key Vault
|
|
|
|
Azure Key Vault is a cloud service for securely storing and accessing secrets.
|
|
A secret is anything that you want to tightly control access to, such as API
|
|
keys, passwords, certificates, or cryptographic keys.
|
|
|
|
## Connection to Azure Key Vault
|
|
|
|
Below values are used to establish the connection to the Key Vault
|
|
service from the CSI driver and to make use of the secrets
|
|
`GetSecret`/`SetSecret`/`DeleteSecret` operations:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
* AZURE_VAULT_URL
|
|
The URL used to access the Azure Key Vault service.
|
|
|
|
* AZURE_CLIENT_ID
|
|
The Client ID of the Azure application object (also known as the service principal).
|
|
This ID serves as the username.
|
|
|
|
* AZURE_TENANT_ID
|
|
The Tenant ID associated with the service principal.
|
|
|
|
* CLIENT_CERT
|
|
The client certificate (which includes the private key and is not password protected)
|
|
used for authentication with Azure Key Vault.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Values provided in the connection secret
|
|
|
|
Considering `AZURE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE` is sensitive information,
|
|
it will be provided as a Kubernetes secret to the Ceph-CSI driver. The Ceph-CSI
|
|
KMS plugin interface for the Azure key vault will read the secret name from the
|
|
kms configMap and fetch the certificate.
|
|
|
|
### Values provided in the config map
|
|
|
|
`AZURE_VAULT_URL`, `AZURE_CLIENT_ID`, `AZURE_TENANT_ID` are part of the
|
|
KMS ConfigMap.
|
|
|
|
### Storage class values or configuration
|
|
|
|
The Storage class has to be enabled for encryption and `encryptionKMSID` has
|
|
to be provided which is the matching value in the kms config map.
|
|
|
|
## Volume Encrypt or Decrypt Operation
|
|
|
|
Ceph-CSI generate's unique passphrase for each volume to be used to
|
|
encrypt/decrypt. The passphrase is securely store in Azure key vault
|
|
using the `SetSecret` operation. At time of decrypt the passphrase is
|
|
retrieved from the key vault using the `GetSecret`operation.
|
|
|
|
## Volume Delete Operation
|
|
|
|
When the corresponding volume is deleted, the stored secret in the Azure Key
|
|
Vault will be deleted.
|
|
|
|
> Note: Ceph-CSI solely deletes the secret without permanent removal (purging).
