From the Spring Vault offical site, it supports HashiCorp’s Vault, and there are some examples with HashiCorp’s Vault.
Does it support Azure key vault nativelly?
From the azure document, springboot starter is
<groupId>com.azure.spring</groupId>
<artifactId>azure-spring-boot-starter-keyvault-secrets</artifactId>
</dependency>
Can the spring valut integrated with the azure key vault?
If it can, how to do that?
Thanks a lot.

There is no official document for spring vault to integrated with azure key vault.
From this spring boot official document it only say about HashiCorp’s vault integration.There is no other cloud platform other than HashiCorp’s vault integrate with spring cloud vault
Spring Cloud Vault Config provides client-side support for
externalized configuration in a distributed system. With HashiCorp’s
Vault you have a central place to manage external secret properties
for applications across all environments. Vault can manage static and
dynamic secrets such as username/password for remote
applications/resources and provide credentials for external services
such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Apache Cassandra, MongoDB, Consul, AWS and
more.
But you can access the azure key vault using the access key in your spring boot application for that you can refer the same document

How we can get the Access to Azure key vault secrets from Typescript app.
We have access to the VM on which the application is running.
What are the steps and code we need to place in Type script react application to get azure key vault access?
It is not possible and not recommended to use Azure key vault in Typescript app. It is a security risk, as anyone can see your KeyVault connection details from browser console and access your secrets.
You should not access secured resources directly from client code.

Let me give some details of my setup
I am building an asp.net core API app being hosted on Azure. I store my secret keys and stuff in azure keyvault. However, I have some AzureAddClientId and secret which is now stored in appsettings.json( to access key vault ). I have also committed appsettings.json to my git repo. However I know that is insecure. I use Azure DevOps for releases. So I'm thinking of doing the following. Please let me know your thoughts on this.
add appsettings.json to git ignore and share the file among developers.
add AzureAddClientId and AzureAADClientSecret to azure DevOps build pipeline as variables. ( Will devops automatically take the variables just as if they were in appsettings.json? )
Please have a look at using Managed Identities.
A common challenge when building cloud applications is how to manage the credentials in your code for authenticating to cloud services. Keeping the credentials secure is an important task. Ideally, the credentials never appear on developer workstations and aren't checked into source control. Azure Key Vault provides a way to securely store credentials, secrets, and other keys, but your code has to authenticate to Key Vault to retrieve them.
The managed identities for Azure resources feature in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) solves this problem. The feature provides Azure services with an automatically managed identity in Azure AD. You can use the identity to authenticate to any service that supports Azure AD authentication, including Key Vault, without any credentials in your code.
I am working with Kubernetes on Azure. I created and configured the Azure Kubernetes Service and Azure Container Registry with the Azure command line interface (CLI) - I have a repository full of Azure CLI bash scripts that create/destroy my cloud infrastructure.
I plan to deploy to Kubernetes using Helm. I plan to use Helm Secrets to encrypt secrets and I am hoping I can use Azure Key Vault to store the encryption keys that encrypt/decrypt the "secrets".
I am now trying to create and configure the Azure Key Vault to work with Azure Kubernetes Service. I can see how I could create a Key Vault with the Azure CLI but the documentation for kubernetes-kms suggests that if you configure Kubernetes a certain way then the Key Vault will be automatically created and this will be configured to communicate with Azure Kubernetes Service.
"We have added this feature to aks-engine so that you do not have to
worry about any of the manual steps to set this up."
The documentation talks about editing a "kubernetesConfig", I've not seen a "kubernetesConfig" anywhere yet - I guess that is what you would have if you created your components using Azure Resource Manager (ARM) Templates.
How do I get Azure Key Vault working with kubernetes-kms using Azure CLI?
e.g. adding enableEncryptionWithExternalKms to the Kubernetes configuration and adding an objectId attribute to the service principal.
you cannot do that with AKS. You dont have access to masters to configure them.
We have hosted our application on Azure WebAPP and wanted to use SSL on this. Should we use traditional way to attach this certification to Azure WebAPP or should we user Azure Key Vault. Since access to Azure WebAPP through RDP is not available and Azure is managing our WebAPP, can certification be compromised (if the Azure key vault is not used)?
I can understand its usage in case of VM, but on Azure, WebApp does it add any value.
Azure Web App doesn't rely on Azure Key Vault for any of its functionalities.
However, if you are using App Service Certificate, then you end up configuring Azure Key Vault for storing the secret. Other use cases are also there, but those are from an application perspective.
I have an application I want to run in Azure that can use the KMIP protocol to communicate with key management servers. Does Azure Key Vault support KMIP? If so, were can I find the details?
Azure Key Vault does not have a KMIP interface.
Azure Key Vault has a REST interface, based heavily on the JSON Web Key standard. It is documented here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn903609.aspx
