Introduction .Net Aspire framework is used to develop cloud and production-ready distributed applications. It consists of components to handle cloud-native concerns such as Redis, Postgres etc. Prerequisites Install .Net 8
Install Visual Studio 2022 version 17 or higher
.Net Aspire Workload
Container runtime such as Docker Desktop
10 Day .Net Aspire Challenge Objectives Learn how to create a starter project using .Net Aspire with the Azure Key Vault. Github Sample: The solution structure is divided into the following projects DotnetAspireChallenge.ApiService
DotnetAspireChallenge.AppHost
DotnetAspireChallenge.ServiceDefaults
DotnetAspireChallenge.Web Getting Started Step 1: Install the following NuGet package Install the following Nuget package into the subsequent project “DotnetAspireChallenge.AppHost” dotnet add package Aspire.Hosting.Azure.KeyVault In the above project, register the Azure Key Vault var secrets = builder.ExecutionContext.IsPublishMode
        ? builder.AddAzureKeyVault("secrets")
        : builder.AddConnectionString("secrets"); Note: A keyVault connection string is required, which means an Azure KeyVault service should be UP and RUNNING on the Azure cloud. Step 2: Install another NuGet package Install the following Nuget package into the subsequent project “DotnetAspireChallenge.ApiService” dotnet add package Aspire.Azure.Security.KeyVault There are two ways to use Azure KeyVault Using Configuration
Using SecretClient For Configuration Register the context of the Program.cs file as follows builder.Configuration.AddAzureKeyVaultSecrets("secrets") then retrieve the secrets using the IConfiguration class as follows public class ExampleService(IConfiguration configuration)
    {
        string secretValue = configuration["secretKey"];
        // Use secretValue ...
    } For SecretClient Create an extension class and register a minimal API GET method to demonstrate the SecretClient usage in the API Service public static class AspireKeyVaultExtension
    {
    
        public static void MapKeyVaultEndpoint(this WebApplication app)
        {
            app.MapGet("/vault", async (SecretClient secretClient) =>
            {
    
                try
                {
                    // Define the secret name and value
                    string secretName = "mySecret";
                    string secretValue = "This is a secret value";
    
                    // Set the secret
                    KeyVaultSecret secret = new KeyVaultSecret(secretName, secretValue);
    
                    await secretClient.SetSecretAsync(secret);
                    return Results.Ok(await secretClient.GetSecretAsync(secretName));
    
                }
                catch (RequestFailedException e)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("HTTP error code {0}: {1}", e.Status, e.ErrorCode);
                    Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
                    return Results.Problem($"HTTP error code {e.Status}: {e.Message}");
                }
            });
        }
    } and finally, register in the Program.cs file app.MapKeyVaultEndpoint(); Add additional connection string properties using the JSON syntax {
      "Aspire": {
        "Azure": {
          "Security": {
            "KeyVault": {
              "VaultUri": "YOUR_VAULT_URI",
              "DisableHealthChecks": false,
              "DisableTracing": true,
              "ClientOptions": {
                "DisableChallengeResourceVerification": true
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    } Congratulations..!! You’ve successfully integrated the Azure KeyVault component into the .Net Aspire project.
