Managing credentials securely is crucial for any organisation. Azure Key Vault provides a robust modern solution for storing secrets, keys, and certificates securely.
I always find it beneficial to deploy something first in the portal before using a tool like Terraform. This approach helps me understand what's being created and ensures I know exactly what I need to replicate when I start writing the Terraform configuration. By doing so, I can better visualise the resource dependencies and settings.
In our latest video, we explore how to set up Azure Key Vault with RBAC using the Azure portal, an essential skill for ensuring your data remains protected.
