How do you use injected aks values with python sdk for azure identity?

aakash regmi 11

I have injected environment variables to aks which stays can be used as environment variables, however when i use python sdk to auth to anything azure. It’s using the key@azurekeyvault text instead of value. However, if i just create the key it will print the actual value. Any ideas?

For ex: 1st one works great. Second one shows AZURE_CLIENT_ID as clientid@azurekeyvault

{"message": f"Hello World, AZURE_CLIENT_ID: {settings.AZURE_CLIENT_ID}

Hello @aakash regmi

It understand you're facing an issue with how environment variables are being parsed or accessed in your Python SDK code. Here are a few things you can check:

Environment Variable Parsing: Ensure that your environment variables are being correctly parsed and loaded into the environment. You can use the os module to set and access environment variables in Python

Key Vault Configuration: If you're using Azure Key Vault to store secrets, ensure that the Key Vault is correctly configured and that your application has the necessary permissions to access the secrets. You might need to use the ClientSecretCredential class to authenticate

Debugging: Add some debug statements to print out the environment variables and see if they contain the expected values

Check for Typos: Double-check for any typos in the environment variable names or values.

Environment Variable Injection: Ensure that the environment variables are correctly injected into your AKS pods. You can verify this by logging into a pod and checking the environment variables directly.

If you've tried all these steps and the issue persists, it might be helpful to look at the specific code snippet where you're using the environment variables and see if there's anything unusual there.

If you still need help, I would recommend reaching out to azure technical support team for further help.
