- Learn how to use Azure Key Vault to store, retrieve, version, rotate, and cache secrets in AI application code using the Python Azure SDK.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
- Explain how Azure Key Vault stores and organizes secrets, keys, and certificates, and identify when to use each object type in an AI solution.
- Retrieve secrets programmatically using Azure SDK client libraries with managed identity authentication.
- Handle secret versioning and rotation in application code to support zero-downtime credential updates.
- Implement caching strategies that reduce Key Vault API calls while maintaining security and freshness guarantees.
- Learn how to use Azure App Configuration to store, organize, and retrieve application settings and feature flags in AI solutions on Azure, while securely referencing secrets stored in Azure Key Vault.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
- Connect to Azure App Configuration from application code and retrieve settings using the Python provider library with managed identity authentication.
- Organize configuration settings with labels and implement feature flags to control feature availability without redeployment.
- Reference Azure Key Vault secrets from App Configuration to unify configuration and secret access in a single retrieval path.
- Decide which settings belong in App Configuration and which belong in Key Vault based on sensitivity, structure, and access patterns.
