Getting Started

Welcome to CertifyClouds! This section will help you get up and running with your Azure Key Vault security platform.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:

  • [x] Azure subscription with Owner or Contributor role
  • [x] Azure CLI installed and logged in (az login)
  • [x] A CertifyClouds license key
  • [x] Azure Container Registry (ACR) with the CertifyClouds image
  • [x] Network access configured (subnets for app + database)

Setup Path

Quick Overview

Step 1: Deploy

Deploy CertifyClouds to Azure Container Apps or Container Instances. The deployment creates:

  • Application container with managed identity
  • PostgreSQL Flexible Server for data storage
  • VNet integration for secure network access

Step 2: Configure

Grant the managed identity read access to your Key Vaults using the provided setup script:

./setup-certifyclouds-access.sh --principal-id $PRINCIPAL_ID --apply

Step 3: Scan

Add your Azure subscriptions and run a discovery scan. CertifyClouds will find all secrets, keys, and certificates across your Key Vaults.

Step 4: Monitor

Review your compliance score, configure alerts for expiring credentials, and set up rotation policies (PRO tier).
