Manages secrets, cryptographic keys, and certificates using the official Azure Key Vault SDK for Python.
This skill provides a comprehensive implementation guide for the Azure Key Vault Python SDK, enabling Claude to assist with secure configuration management and data protection. It covers the full lifecycle of secrets, keys, and certificates, including advanced cryptographic operations like RSA/EC encryption and digital signing. By leveraging DefaultAzureCredential and production-ready patterns, it ensures that your Python applications follow security best practices such as RBAC, soft-delete recovery, and asynchronous execution for high-throughput cloud environments.
