alicloudkms KMS

The AliCloud KMS configures Boundary to use AliCloud KMS for key management. The AliCloud KMS is activated by one of the following:

  • The presence of a kms "alicloudkms" block in Boundary’s configuration file.

alicloudkms Example

This example shows configuring AliCloud KMS through the Boundary configuration file by providing all the required values:

  1. kms "alicloudkms" {
  2.   purpose    = "root"
  3.   region     = "us-east-1"
  4.   access_key = "0wNEpMMlzy7szvai"
  5.   secret_key = "PupkTg8jdmau1cXxYacgE736PJj4cA"
  6.   kms_key_id = "08c33a6f-4e0a-4a1b-a3fa-7ddfa1d4fb73"
  7. }

alicloudkms Parameters

These parameters apply to the kms stanza in the Boundary configuration file:

  • purpose - Purpose of this KMS, acceptable values are: worker-auth, root, recovery, or config.

  • region (string: <required> "us-east-1"): The AliCloud region where the encryption key lives. May also be specified by the ALICLOUD_REGION environment variable.

  • domain (string: "kms.us-east-1.aliyuncs.com"): If set, overrides the endpoint AliCloud would normally use for KMS for a particular region. May also be specified by the ALICLOUD_DOMAIN environment variable.

  • access_key (string: <required>): The AliCloud access key ID to use. May also be specified by the ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY environment variable or as part of the AliCloud profile from the AliCloud CLI or instance profile.

  • secret_key (string: <required>): The AliCloud secret access key to use. May also be specified by the ALICLOUD_SECRET_KEY environment variable or as part of the AliCloud profile from the AliCloud CLI or instance profile.

  • kms_key_id (string: <required>): The AliCloud KMS key ID to use for encryption and decryption. May also be specified by the ALICLOUDKMS_WRAPPER_KEY_ID environment variable.

Authentication

Authentication-related values must be provided, either as environment variables or as configuration parameters.

Note: Although the configuration file allows you to pass in ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY and ALICLOUD_SECRET_KEY as part of the ‘s parameters, it is strongly recommended to set these values via environment variables.

  1. AliCloud authentication values:
  3. * `ALICLOUD_REGION`
  4. * `ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY`
  5. * `ALICLOUD_SECRET_KEY`

Note: The client uses the official AliCloud SDK and will use environment credentials, the specified credentials, or RAM role credentials in that order.
