Humilis plug-in to deploy a Lambda humilis_decrypt
Project description
A humilis plug-in layer that deploys a custom Cloudformation (CF) resource that can be used to decrypt secrets that are embedded in CF templates.
CREDIT: All credit goes to Casecommons lambda-cfn-kms. This repo is just the result of bundling the lambda-cfn-kms repository as a humilis plugin.
Installation
pip install humilis-decrypt
To install the development version:
pip install git+https://github.com/humilis/humilis-decrypt
Development
Assuming you have virtualenv installed:
make develop
Configure humilis:
make configure
How does it work?
First create the Lambda function that backs the custom resource:
make create
The deployment will produce two artifacts:
The ID of the KMS key associated with the custom resource.
The ARN of the deployed Lambda function.
You can use the KMS key ID to encrypt your secrets locally, e.g. assuming you want to encrypt the dummy DB password dummy with key 3ea941bf-ee54-4941-8f77-f1dd417667cd:
aws kms encrypt --key-id 3ea941bf-ee54-4941-8f77-f1dd417667cd --plaintext 'dummy'
The output will be something like this:
{ "CiphertextBlob": "AQICAHi2zdvZYfUQOQV8yX/HLdcIMqHHkubAYAei2Qo498KheQFDELPYHds8169cc9EqggEuAAAAZjBkBgkqhkiG9w0BBwagVzBVAgEAMFAGCSqGSIb3DQEHATAeBglghkgBZQMEAS4wEQQM+gDfP3DDVgbFYNidAgEQgCMrz1beR+s0XqWTVIuCbJ+E/cC7sqUzmPEB0weOhQ3GOE65rg==", "KeyId": "arn:aws:kms:eu-west-1:XXXXX:key/a86x4dd8-6b8e-41ce-aa65-4aa370d9ccbf" }
Whenever you want to use your secret in a CF template you would do something like this:
--- resources: DbPasswordDecrypt: Type: "Custom::KMSDecrypt" Properties: ServiceToken: <lambda_function_arn> Ciphertext: "AQICAHi2zdvZYfUQOQV8yX/HLdcIMqHHkubAYAei2Qo498KheQFDELPYHds8169cc9EqggEuAAAAZjBkBgkqhkiG9w0BBwagVzBVAgEAMFAGCSqGSIb3DQEHATAeBglghkgBZQMEAS4wEQQM+gDfP3DDVgbFYNidAgEQgCMrz1beR+s0XqWTVIuCbJ+E/cC7sqUzmPEB0weOhQ3GOE65rg==" DbInstance: Type: "AWS::RDS::DBInstance" Properties: AllocatedStorage: "20" DBInstanceClass: "db.m1.small" Engine: "MySQL" EngineVersion: "5.5" MasterUsername: "admin" MasterUserPassword: Fn::Sub: ${DbPasswordDecrypt.Plaintext}
where you will need to replace <lambda_function_arn> with the ARN of the Lambda function that backs the custom CF resource that implements the decryption logic.
