humilis-secrets-vault 0.1.0

Installation

From PyPI:

pip install humilis-secrets-vault

To install the dev version:

pip install git+https://github.com/InnovativeTravel/humilis-secrets-vault

How do I use this?

Simply add this layer to your humilis environment and use the layer parameter associated_processors to specify the layers that contain the Lambda functions that require access to the secrets in the vault. For example, the environment below deploys a Lambda function that processes events in a Kinesis stream. The Lambda processor is granted access to the secrets vault that is also part of the same environment:

---
myenvironment:
    description:
        An environment with a Lambda processor to filter events in a Kinesis
        stream.

    layers:
        - layer: streams
          layer_type: streams
          streams:
              - name: InputStream
                shard_count: 1

        - layer: event-processor
          layer_type: kinesis-processor
          dependencies: ["streams"]
          input: {layer: streams, stream: InputStream}

        - layer: secrets-vault
          layer_type: secrets-vault
          # We specify that the Lambda function in the event-processor layer
          # should have access to the secrets in the vault.
          associated_processors: ["event-processor"]

The secrets-vault layer expects that the layer(s) that contain the Lambda processor(s) expose a layer output LambdaFunctionArn with the ARN of the Lambda function that should have access to the secrets in the vault. Layers of type kinesis-processor as in the example above fulfil this expectation so they will work out-of-the-box.

import lambdautils.utils as utils

# Assuming that you are deploying this Lambda with humilis the line below
# will indicate humilis to preprocess this function with Jinja2 before
# producing the Lambda deployment package.
# preprocessor:jinja2

# During deployment, humilis will replace here the name of the humilis
# environment and deployment stage.
ENVIRONMENT = "{{_env.name}}"
STAGE = "{{_env.stage}}"

plaintext = utils.get_secret(
    "my_secret_key", environment=ENVIRONMENT, stage=STAGE)

humilis set-secret --stage [STAGE] [ENVIRONMENT_FILE] [SECRET_KEY] [SECRET_VALUE]

Development

Assuming you have virtualenv installed:

make develop

Configure humilis:

.env/bin/humilis configure --local

Testing

You can test the deployment of the secrets vault using:

make create

Then you can then run the integration test suite (TBD):

make testi

Don’t forget to delete the test deployment once you are done:

make delete
