Azure KeyVault Course: Learn about Keys,Secrets,Certificates

Azure Key Vault stores secrets, encryption keys, and certificates, explains hardware security modules versus software storage, and details access controls across the management and data planes.

Explore how Azure Key Vault integrates with Azure services to protect data at rest, in transit, and in use by managing encryption keys, secrets, and certificates.

Discover key vault key types, including hardware security module keys, software keys, and protected keys, with creation and rotation on HSM or VM, plus standard and premium pricing.

Provision an Azure Key Vault, selecting subscription, resource group, region, and standard tier, then set access policies for keys, secrets, and certificates while disabling public endpoints.

Explore the Azure Key Vault objects: keys, secrets, and certificates. Learn how asymmetric keys encrypt data, how secrets store unstructured data, and how certificates with metadata protect data in transit.

Store RSA and elliptic curve keys (private and public) in Azure Key Vault, created or imported, using software or hardware security modules for encrypt, decrypt, wrap, and unwrap.

Generate or import a key in the key vault, name it, choose key type and size (2048 or 3072 bits), set activation and expiration dates, and define permitted operations.

learn how to securely store and manage application secrets in Azure Key Vault, keeping credentials out of code and retrieving them via secret identifiers.

Shows creating secrets in Key Vault by manual entry or import, optionally storing certificates, uploading files, and setting activation and expiration dates, with a secret identifier for external apps.

Learn how certificates in Azure Key Vault use X.509 formats, including public and private keys, to store, import, and manage self-signed or CA-signed certificates with lifetime policies.

Generate a self-signed certificate in azure key vault, configure validity and renewal, and manage keys, secrets, and certificates, including optional import, private key export, and adding certificate authorities.

Learn how the Key Vault management plane governs actions on resources, and how the data plane manages secrets, certificates, and passwords with access policies, tagging, and authorization through Active Directory.

Learn how RBAC governs access to the Azure Key Vault management plane. Understand security principals, rule definitions, and scope to assign built-in or custom roles such as reader or contributor.

Implement RBAC to a keyword, assign a keyword contributor to a user, and verify management plane permissions and diagnostic settings in Azure Key Vault.

Learn how data plane access policies control authorization in Azure Key Vault, granting vault-level permissions for keys, secrets, and certificates, and understanding the limits of object-level granularity and group-based access.

Demonstrates enabling disk encryption on an Azure VM by creating a Key Vault key, granting the VM access via an access policy, and enabling OS disk encryption.

Apply firewall and virtual network restrictions to the key vault data plane, allowing access only from selected networks or a single IP, while maintaining management plane access.

Explore network level restrictions for Azure Key Vault with firewall and private endpoints. Configure virtual networks, IP rules, and trusted Microsoft services to control access to keys, secrets, and certificates.

Enable monitoring and auditing in azure key vault by configuring metrics and the activities log, then route diagnostic logs to log analytics, storage, or event hub for queries.
