Yandex Lockbox
Yandex Lockbox
External Secrets Operator integrates with Yandex Lockbox for secret management.
Prerequisites
Authentication
At the moment, authorized key authentication is only supported:
- Create a service account in Yandex.Cloud:
yc iam service-account create --name eso-service-account
- Create an authorized key for the service account and save it to
authorized-key.json
file:yc iam key create \ --service-account-name eso-service-account \ --output authorized-key.json
- Create a k8s secret containing the authorized key saved above:
kubectl create secret generic yc-auth --from-file=authorized-key=authorized-key.json
- Create a SecretStore pointing to
yc-auth
k8s secret:apiVersion: external-secrets.io/v1beta1 kind: SecretStore metadata: name: secret-store spec: provider: yandexlockbox: auth: authorizedKeySecretRef: name: yc-auth key: authorized-key
NOTE: In case of a ClusterSecretStore
, Be sure to provide namespace
in all authorizedKeySecretRef
with the namespace where the secret resides.
Creating external secret
To make External Secrets Operator sync a k8s secret with a Lockbox secret:
- Create a Lockbox secret, if not already created:
yc lockbox secret create \ --name lockbox-secret \ --payload '[{"key": "password","textValue": "p@$$w0rd"}]'
- Assign the
lockbox.payloadViewer
role for accessing thelockbox-secret
payload to the service account used for authentication:Run the following command to ensure that the correct access binding has been added:yc lockbox secret add-access-binding \ --name lockbox-secret \ --service-account-name eso-service-account \ --role lockbox.payloadViewer
yc lockbox secret list-access-bindings --name lockbox-secret
- Create an ExternalSecret pointing to
secret-store
andlockbox-secret
:apiVersion: external-secrets.io/v1beta1 kind: ExternalSecret metadata: name: external-secret spec: refreshInterval: 1h secretStoreRef: name: secret-store kind: SecretStore target: name: k8s-secret # the target k8s secret name data: - secretKey: password # the target k8s secret key remoteRef: key: ***** # ID of lockbox-secret property: password # (optional) payload entry key of lockbox-secret
The operator will fetch the Yandex Lockbox secret and inject it as a Kind=Secret
kubectl get secret k8s-secret -n <namespace> | -o jsonpath='{.data.password}' | base64 -d
