Using Azure Keyvault With Subnet

In this solution, we will create an Azure Key Vault and associate it with a subnet using Pulumi in TypeScript. The key services involved in this solution are Azure Key Vault, Azure Virtual Network, and Azure Subnet. Azure Key Vault is used to securely store and manage sensitive information such as secrets, keys, and certificates. Azure Virtual Network (VNet) allows us to create a logically isolated network in Azure, and within this VNet, we can create subnets to segment the network. By associating the Key Vault with a subnet, we can control access to the Key Vault from specific network segments.

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Create an Azure Resource Group: We will start by creating an Azure Resource Group to organize our resources.
2. Create an Azure Virtual Network (VNet): Next, we will create a VNet to provide network isolation.
3. Create a Subnet within the VNet: We will create a subnet within the VNet to segment the network.
4. Create an Azure Key Vault: We will create an Azure Key Vault to store and manage sensitive information.
5. Associate the Key Vault with the Subnet: Finally, we will associate the Key Vault with the subnet to control access.

Key Points

• Azure Key Vault is used to securely store and manage sensitive information.
• Azure Virtual Network (VNet) provides network isolation.
• Subnets are used to segment the network within a VNet.
• Associating the Key Vault with a subnet allows us to control access to the Key Vault from specific network segments.

Conclusion

In this solution, we demonstrated how to create an Azure Key Vault and associate it with a subnet using Pulumi in TypeScript. By doing so, we can securely store and manage sensitive information while controlling access to the Key Vault from specific network segments. This approach enhances the security and manageability of our sensitive data in Azure.

Full Code Example

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as azureNative from "@pulumi/azure-native";

// Create an Azure Resource Group
const resourceGroup = new azureNative.resources.ResourceGroup("resourceGroup", {
    resourceGroupName: "example-rg",
    location: "WestUS",
});

// Create an Azure Virtual Network
const virtualNetwork = new azureNative.network.VirtualNetwork("virtualNetwork", {
    resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name,
    location: resourceGroup.location,
    addressSpace: { addressPrefixes: ["10.0.0.0/16"] },
});

// Create a Subnet within the Virtual Network
const subnet = new azureNative.network.Subnet("subnet", {
    resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name,
    virtualNetworkName: virtualNetwork.name,
    addressPrefix: "10.0.1.0/24",
});

// Create an Azure Key Vault
const keyVault = new azureNative.keyvault.Vault("keyVault", {
    resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name,
    location: resourceGroup.location,
    properties: {
        sku: { family: "A", name: "standard" },
        tenantId: "<your-tenant-id>",
        accessPolicies: [],
    },
    vaultName: "example-keyvault",
});

// Associate the Key Vault with the Subnet
const privateEndpointConnection = new azureNative.keyvault.PrivateEndpointConnection("privateEndpointConnection", {
    resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name,
    vaultName: keyVault.name,
    privateEndpointConnectionName: "example-pec",
    privateLinkServiceConnectionState: {
        status: "Approved",
        description: "Auto-approved",
    },
});

export const resourceGroupName = resourceGroup.name;
export const virtualNetworkName = virtualNetwork.name;
export const subnetName = subnet.name;
export const keyVaultName = keyVault.name;
export const privateEndpointConnectionName = privateEndpointConnection.name;
