Read a Secret From Azure Key Vault With Terraform

In this blog post, I will show you how to read a secret from an Azure Key Vault store using Terraform.

Secret Store

In the last few articles, I have shown you how to create a secret store and add a secret to it using Terraform with accessing the portal or Azure CLI \ PowerShell. Now it is time to learn how to read a secret from Azure Key Vault.

Configuration

In the configuration below, I am first reading the information on my Azure Key Store and after outputting the secret in the following configuration.

data "azurerm_key_vault" "azvault" {
  name                = "myvault1"
  resource_group_name = "rgname"

}

data "azurerm_key_vault_secret" "secert" {
  name         = "secret-sauce"
  key_vault_id = data.azurerm_key_vault.azvault.id
}

output "secret_value" {
  value = data.azurerm_key_vault_secret.secret.value
}

Processing…
Success! You're on the list.
