It is recommended that you use an existing service principal when you want to have a pre-defined set of permissions. You can also manually create the service principal from the portal or using Azure CLI and re-use it across projects. Since we are going to retrieve secrets in a pipeline, we will need to grant permission to the service when we create the key vault.Ī service principal is automatically created by Azure Pipeline when you connect to an Azure subscription from inside a pipeline definition or when you create a new service connection from the project settings page. You will need a service principal to deploy an app to an Azure resource from Azure Pipelines.

Many developers leave confidential details such as database connection strings, passwords, private keys, etc., in their source code which when gained by malicious users can result in undesired consequences. This prevents the disclosure of information through source code, a common mistake that many developers make. Azure Key Vault helps teams to securely store and manage sensitive information such as keys, passwords, certificates, etc., in a centralized storage which are safeguarded by industry-standard algorithms, key lengths, and even hardware security modules.
