Azure Key Vault Helper
Overview
Specialized PowerShell module that dramatically simplifies Azure Key Vault integration by handling complex object serialization, PSCredential management, and secure string operations that would otherwise require extensive boilerplate code. Automatically converts between PowerShell objects and JSON for seamless secret storage, eliminating the need for manual serialization logic in every script.
Provides convenient credential retrieval with automatic PSCredential reconstruction, ensuring secrets are immediately usable in native PowerShell authentication scenarios without additional conversion steps. Manages certificate operations including retrieval, installation, and expiration monitoring with built-in error handling and retry logic. Features intelligent caching to minimize API calls and improve performance in high-frequency automation scenarios.
Perfect for automation frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and orchestration platforms requiring centralized secret management while maintaining PowerShell-native data types. Reduces typical Key Vault integration code from 50+ lines to single-line cmdlet calls, dramatically improving maintainability and reducing the attack surface by eliminating custom secret handling logic. Supports both Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7+ for maximum compatibility across legacy and modern environments.
