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:

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

alicloudkms parameters

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

• purpose - Purpose of this KMS, acceptable values are: worker-auth, worker-auth-storage, root, previous-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.

AliCloud authentication values:

* `ALICLOUD_REGION`
* `ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY`
* `ALICLOUD_SECRET_KEY`

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