Authorize Spinnaker to access the AWS Secrets Manager

Remember to run the Operator (or Halyard’s daemon) and Spinnaker^TM services with IAM roles that allow them to read the keys stored in the AWS Secrets Manager. The following example policy enables access to the AWS Secrets Manger and the KMS store:

  {
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "kms:ListKeys",
                "kms:ListAliases",
                "kms:DescribeKey"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        },
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor1",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "secretsmanager:GetSecretValue",
                "secretsmanager:ListSecretVersionIds",
                "secretsmanager:ListSecrets"
            ],
            "Resource": "*",
            "Condition": {
                "ForAnyValue:StringEquals": {
                    "secretsmanager:VersionStage": "AWSCURRENT"
                }
            }
        }
    ]
}

Referencing secrets stored in AWS Secrets Manager

You can reference a KeyStore or KeyStore password stored in AWS Secrets Manager. Based on which type of secret you want to reference, use one of the following formats:

Keystore

  keyStore: encryptedFile:secrets-manager!r:<some region>!s:<secret name>

Keystore password

  keyStorePassword: encrypted:secrets-manager!r:<some region>!s:<secret name>!k:some-key

• encryptedFile or encrypted - Required. Indicates that this is an encrypted file or an encrypted string, respectively.
• secrets-manager - Required. Indicates that secrets are stored in AWS Secrets Manager
• ! - Required. Delimiter between parameters.
• r:<AWS region> - Required. The AWS region your secret is stored in. For example, use r:us-west-2 for a secret stored in the us-west-2 region.
• s:<Secret name> - Required. The name of the secret stored in AWS Secrets Manager
