notation-azure-kv

Azure Provider for the Notation CLI

The notation-azure-kv plugin allows you to sign the Notation-generated payload with a certificate in Azure Key Vault (AKV). The certificate and private key are stored in AKV and the plugin will request signing and obtain the leaf certificate from AKV.

The plugin supports several authentication methods. The Azure CLI or the Managed Identity credential is suggested.

Installation the AKV plugin

Before you begin, make sure the latest version of the Notation CLI has been installed.

1. Navigate to the Releases page and choose a release of notation-azure-kv.

2. Download, verify, and then install the specified version of the plugin.

   For Linux Bash:

   version=1.0.0-rc.2
   arch=amd64
   install_path="${HOME}/.config/notation/plugins/azure-kv"
   
   # download tarball and checksum
   checksum_file="notation-azure-kv_${version}_checksums.txt"
   tar_file="notation-azure-kv_${version}_linux_${arch}.tar.gz"
   curl -Lo ${checksum_file} "https://github.com/Azure/notation-azure-kv/releases/download/v${version}/${checksum_file}"
   curl -Lo ${tar_file} "https://github.com/Azure/notation-azure-kv/releases/download/v${version}/${tar_file}"
   
   # validate checksum
   grep ${tar_file} ${checksum_file} | sha256sum -c
   
   # install the plugin
   mkdir -p ${install_path}
   tar xvzf ${tar_file} -C ${install_path} notation-azure-kv

   For macOS Zsh:

   version=1.0.0-rc.2
   arch=arm64
   install_path="${HOME}/Library/Application Support/notation/plugins/azure-kv"
   
   # download tarball and checksum
   checksum_file="notation-azure-kv_${version}_checksums.txt"
   tar_file="notation-azure-kv_${version}_darwin_${arch}.tar.gz"
   curl -Lo ${checksum_file} "https://github.com/Azure/notation-azure-kv/releases/download/v${version}/${checksum_file}"
   curl -Lo ${tar_file} "https://github.com/Azure/notation-azure-kv/releases/download/v${version}/${tar_file}"
   
   # validate checksum
   grep ${tar_file} ${checksum_file} | shasum -a 256 -c
   
   # install the plugin
   mkdir -p ${install_path}
   tar xvzf ${tar_file} -C ${install_path} notation-azure-kv

   For Windows Powershell:

   $version = "1.0.0-rc.2"
   $arch = "amd64"
   $install_path = "${env:AppData}\notation\plugins\azure-kv"
   
   # download zip file and checksum
   $checksum_file = "notation-azure-kv_${version}_checksums.txt"
   $zip_file = "notation-azure-kv_${version}_windows_${arch}.zip"
   Invoke-WebRequest -OutFile ${checksum_file} "https://github.com/Azure/notation-azure-kv/releases/download/v${version}/${checksum_file}"
   Invoke-WebRequest -OutFile ${zip_file} "https://github.com/Azure/notation-azure-kv/releases/download/v${version}/${zip_file}"
   
   # validate checksum
   $checksum = (Get-Content ${checksum_file} | Select-String -List ${zip_file}).Line.Split() | Where-Object {$_}
   If ($checksum[0] -ne (Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 $checksum[1]).Hash) {
      throw "$($checksum[1]): Failed"
   }
   
   # install the plugin
   mkdir ${install_path}
   Expand-Archive -Path ${zip_file} -DestinationPath ${install_path}

3. Run notation plugin list and confirm the azure-kv plugin is installed.

Getting started
