Secure Secret Management for AI Environments with Doppler
PythonIn order to implement secure secret management for AI environments using Doppler with Pulumi, you would need to manage projects, environments, and secrets within Doppler. Pulumi provides the Doppler provider which includes resources for handling these entities. Below, I'll explain how each Doppler resource can be utilized, followed by a sample Pulumi Python program that demonstrates how to create secrets within a project and environment.
Here's a quick rundown of the Doppler resources we'll be using:
doppler.Project
: Represents a Doppler project, which is a collection of configurations and secrets used by your applications.doppler.Environment
: Represents an environment within a Doppler project, such asdevelopment
,staging
, orproduction
.doppler.Config
: Represents a configuration within an environment and project in Doppler.doppler.Secret
: Allows you to manage individual secrets within a specific config and project in Doppler. This is where sensitive data like API keys, passwords, and tokens would be stored.
All these entities work together to provide a structured approach to manage secrets in a way that segregates them based on the environment and project they are associated with.
Now, let's put this into action with a Pulumi program. In this example, we'll create a Doppler project, add an environment to this project, establish a configuration, and finally add a secret to that configuration.
import pulumi import pulumi_doppler as doppler # Create a new Doppler project. # The project can have environments, configs, and secrets associated with it. project = doppler.Project("my-ai-project", name="my-ai-project", description="A project for AI environment secrets management" ) # Create an environment within the Doppler project. # An environment typically represents stages like 'development', 'staging', or 'production'. environment = doppler.Environment("development-environment", name="development", project=project.name ) # Create a configuration in Doppler within the project and environment. # A config can contain multiple secrets and can be associated with a service or repository. config = doppler.Config("default-config", name="default", project=project.name, environment=environment.slug ) # Finally, create a secret within the configuration. # This is an individual key-value pair where you store the sensitive data. secret = doppler.Secret("api-key", name="API_KEY", value="supersecretvalue123", # In a real-world scenario, use a secure method to provide this value. config=config.name, project=project.name ) # Export the generated secret name and Doppler project specifics for easy access. pulumi.export("project_name", project.name) pulumi.export("environment_name", environment.name) pulumi.export("config_name", config.name) pulumi.export("secret_name", secret.name)
In this program, we're setting up a Doppler project to store secrets for an AI environment. It is a straightforward example where we sequentially create the necessary part of the hierarchy – project, environment, config, and the secret itself. The secret used here is hardcoded, but for real use cases, this should be provided through a secure means like environment variables or Pulumi's configuration management system. We export the names of our resources for visibility via the Pulumi CLI.
This is a basic example to get you started with managing secrets via Doppler using Pulumi. In an actual AI project, you would interact with these secrets by using the Doppler CLI or Doppler's REST API to fetch secrets at runtime in your AI applications, ensuring they are securely stored and separated by environment.
