Azure Key Vault extensions library for .NET Aspire application model

Azure Key Vault is a cloud service that provides a secure storage of secrets, such as passwords and database connection strings.

The Azure Key Vault extensions library allows you to extend the .NET Aspire application model to support to provisioning Key Vaults as part of application development and testing.

Getting started

Prerequisites

  • Azure subscription - create one for free
  • A .NET Aspire project based on the starter template.

Install the package

Install the Azure Key Vault extensions library for .NET Aspire application model with NuGet:

dotnet add package Aspire.Hosting.Azure.KeyVault

Configure Azure Provisioning for local development

Adding Azure resources to the .NET Aspire application model will automatically enable development-time provisioning for Azure resources so that you don't need to configure them manually. Provisioning requires a number of settings to be available via .NET configuration. Set these values in user secrets in order to allow resources to be configured automatically.

{
    "Azure": {
      "SubscriptionId": "<your subscription id>",
      "ResourceGroupPrefix": "<prefix for the resource group>",
      "Location": "<azure location>"
    }
}

NOTE: Developers must have Owner access to the target subscription so that role assignments can be configured for the provisioned resources.

Usage examples

Adding a Key Vault resource to the .NET Aspire application model

In order to provision a Key Vault resource as part of a .NET Aspire application you need to add the resource via the IDistributedApplicationBuilder interface. The builder.AddAzureKeyVault(...) extension method is used to register a Key Vault resource with the application model. Then use the WithReference extension method on a resource to inject the necessary connection string information for accessing Key Vault into the application that depends on it.

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
builder.AddAzureProvisioner();

var keyVault = builder.AddAzureKeyVault("mykeyvault");

builder.AddProject<Projects.MyApp>("myapp")
       .WithReference(keyVault);

Inside the the implementation of the application that depends on Key Vault (MyApp in this case) add the Aspire.Azure.Security.KeyVault package and follow the instructions in that package README to use the connection string that was injected by the code above.

Customizing the Azure Key Vault resource

The builder.AddAzureKeyVault(...) extension method has an overload that allows for customization of the Key Vault resource that is created. In the below example a .NET Aspire parameter is defined which is then assigned to the value of a Key Vault secret which is created at provisioning time.

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
builder.AddAzureProvisioning();

var webhookSigningSharedSecret = builder.AddParameter("webhooksecret", secret: true);

var keyVault = builder.AddAzureKeyVault("mykeyvault", (_, construct, kv) => {

  // Create a secret and assign an parameter resource to its value.
  var secret = new KeyVaultSecret(construct, "secret");
  secret.AssignProperty(x => x.Properties.Value, webhookSigningSharedSecret);

});

builder.AddProject<Projects.MyApp>("myapp")
       .WithReference(keyVault);
