Deploy MinIO and KES with Server-Side Encryption using Azure Key Vault

Prior to starting these steps, create the following folders:

New-Item -Path "|kescertpath|" -ItemType "directory"
New-Item -Path "|kesconfigpath|" -ItemType "directory"
New-Item -Path "|miniodatapath|" -ItemType "directory"

1) Download KES for Windows

2) Generate TLS Certificates for KES and MinIO

3) Create the KES and MinIO Configurations

1. Create the KES Configuration File

   Create the configuration file using your preferred text editor. The following example uses the Windows Notepad program:

   notepad |kesconfigpath|\kes-config.yaml

   • Set MINIO_IDENTITY_HASH to the identity hash of the MinIO mTLS certificate.

     The following command computes the necessary hash:

     kes.exe tool identity of |miniocertpath|/minio-kes.cert

   • Replace the endpoint with the URL for the Keyvault instance.

   • Set TENANTID, CLIENTID, and CLIENTSECRET to match the credentials for a project user with the required permissions <minio-sse-azure-prereq-azure>.

2. Create the MinIO Environment File

   Create the environment file using your preferred text editor. The following example uses the Windows Notepad program:

   notepad |minioconfigpath|\minio

4) Start KES and MinIO

You must start KES before starting MinIO. The MinIO deployment requires access to KES as part of its startup.

1. Start the KES Server
2. Start the MinIO Server

5) Generate a New Encryption Key

6) Enable SSE-KMS for a Bucket
