Golden Retriever Puppies

Easily fetch secrets from AWS Parameter Store or Secrets Manager.

After a week where I wrote two CLIs and a small web service that required copying and pasting the same secret-fetching boilerplate, I decided to abstract the boring details.

Usage

Configure using YAML or environment thanks to viper. Some examples...

Parameter Store with many secrets under one prefix:

type: parameter
prefix: /foo
credentials:
  - BAR
  - BAZ_QUX

Parameter Store with different secret prefixes (note: no leading /):

type: parameter
credentials:
  - foo/BAR
  - baz/QUX

Same rules for Secrets Manager, just change type:

type: secret
prefix: /foo
credentials:
  - BAR
  - BAZ_QUX

Environment variables are prefixed with RTVR_ and have the same keys as YAML.

❯ RTVR_TYPE="secret" RTVR_PREFIX="/foo" RTVR_CREDENTIALS="BAR" aws-vault exec dev -- go run main.go
INFO: retriever not config found; using environment
RESULT: map[BAR:{"key1":"value1","key2":"value2"}]%

❯ RTVR_TYPE="parameter" RTVR_CREDENTIALS="foo/BAR QUX" aws-vault exec dev -- go run main.go
INFO: retriever not config found; using environment
RESULT: map[QUX:top secret foo/BAR:baz]%

To dispel any magic, test code is just:

package main

import (
        "fmt"
        "log"

        "github.com/deadlysyn/retriever"
)

func main() {
        c, err := retriever.Fetch()
        if err != nil {
                log.Fatalf("CALLER: %v", err)
        }
        fmt.Printf("RESULT: %+v", c)
}

Of course the idea is not to print things, but to use returned values. Fetch() returns a map of credentials with keys equal to secret names. Let's see that in action:

type: parameter
prefix: /app/dev
credentials:
  - CONSUMER_SECRET
  - CONSUMER_KEY
  - OAUTH_TOKEN
  - OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET
package main

import (
    // ...

    "github.com/deadlysyn/retriever"
)

var (
    creds = make(map[string]string)
)

func init() {
    creds, err := retriever.Fetch()
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("deal with it: %v", err)
    }
}

func getClient(ctx context.Context) *http.Client {
    keyDERBlock, _ := pem.Decode([]byte(creds["CONSUMER_SECRET"]))
    privateKey, _ := x509.ParsePKCS1PrivateKey(keyDERBlock.Bytes)

    config := oauth1.Config{
        ConsumerKey: creds["CONSUMER_KEY"],
        // etc...
    }

    tok := &oauth1.Token{
        Token:       creds["OAUTH_TOKEN"],
        TokenSecret: creds["OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET"],
    }

    return config.Client(ctx, tok)
}

// ...

TODO

  • Secrets Manager versioning
  • Customer managed KMS keys
  • Values other than strings (?)
  • Ideas? Open an issue or PR.

Thanks

On the shoulders of giants.
