This Week in Spring - June 28, 2016

Engineering | Josh Long | June 28, 2016 | ...

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'm in Munich and Wolfsburg, Germany, visiting with customers, then it's off to Seoul, South Korea, for customers and some user group talks.

This week we've got a lot of exciting Spring Cloud Data Flow news, coincident with the new Spring Cloud Data Flow RC1

  • The good Dr. Pollack, co-lead of the Spring Cloud Data Flow project, just announced Spring Cloud Data Flow RC1 which has updated deployers supporting deployments locally and to Apache YARN, Kubernetes, Mesos, and of course Cloud Foundry, an incredible integration of Spring Cloud Flo (a visualization for Spring Cloud Data Flow streams) into the Spring Cloud Data Flow Dashboard, improved OAuth support and so much more!
  • I really enjoyed Mark Paluch's excellent blog pulling back the veil of obscurity around the security secrets sensation sweeping the nation, Hashicorp Vault, and how Spring Cloud Vault works

Managing Secrets with Vault

Engineering | Mark Paluch | June 24, 2016 | ...

Passwords, API keys and confidential data fall into the category of secrets. Storing secrets the secure way is a challenge with limiting access and a true secure storage. Let's take a look at Hashicorp Vault and how you can use it to store and access secrets.

How do you store Secrets?

Passwords, API keys, secure Tokens, and confidential data fall into the category of secrets. That's data which shouldn't lie around. It mustn't be available in plaintext in easy to guess locations. In fact, it must not be stored in plaintext in any location.

Sensitive data can be encrypted by using the Spring Cloud Config Server or TomEE. Encrypted data is one step better than unencrypted. Encryption imposes on the other side the need for decryption on the user side which requires a decryption key to be distributed. Now, where do you put the key? Is the key protected by a passphrase? Where do you put the passphrase? On how many systems do you distribute…
