Continuing on from my post showing how to create a \u2018Hello World\u2019 AWS lambda function<\/a> I wanted to pass encrypted environment variables to my function.<\/p>\n

The following function takes in both an encrypted and unencrypted variable and prints them out.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t print out encrypted variables in a real function, this is just so we can see the example working!<\/strong><\/p>\n

import boto3\r\nimport os\r\n\u00a0\r\nfrom base64 import b64decode\r\n\u00a0\r\ndef lambda_handler(event, context):\r\n    encrypted = os.environ['ENCRYPTED_VALUE']\r\n    decrypted = boto3.client('kms').decrypt(CiphertextBlob=b64decode(encrypted))['Plaintext']\r\n\u00a0\r\n    # Don't print out your decrypted value in a real function! This is just to show how it works.\r\n    print(\"Decrypted value:\", decrypted)\r\n\u00a0\r\n    plain_text = os.environ[\"PLAIN_TEXT_VALUE\"]\r\n    print(\"Plain text:\", plain_text)<\/pre>\n
Now we\u2019ll zip up our function into HelloWorldEncrypted.zip, ready to send to AWS.<\/p>\n
zip HelloWorldEncrypted.zip HelloWorldEncrypted.py<\/pre>\n
Now it\u2019s time to upload our function to AWS and create the associated environment variables.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re using a Python editor then you\u2019ll need to install boto3 locally to keep the editor happy but you don\u2019t need to include boto3 in the code you send to AWS Lambda \u2013 it comes pre-installed.<\/p>\n
Now we write the following code to automate the creation of our Lambda function:<\/p>\n
import boto3\r\nfrom base64 import b64encode\r\n\u00a0\r\nfn_name = \"HelloWorldEncrypted\"\r\nkms_key = \"arn:aws:kms:[aws-zone]:[your-aws-id]:key\/[your-kms-key-id]\"\r\nfn_role = 'arn:aws:iam::[your-aws-id]:role\/lambda_basic_execution'\r\n\u00a0\r\nlambda_client = boto3.client('lambda')\r\nkms_client = boto3.client('kms')\r\n\u00a0\r\nencrypt_me = \"abcdefg\"\r\nencrypted = b64encode(kms_client.encrypt(Plaintext=encrypt_me, KeyId=kms_key)[\"CiphertextBlob\"])\r\n\u00a0\r\nplain_text = 'hijklmno'\r\n\u00a0\r\nlambda_client.create_function(\r\n        FunctionName=fn_name,\r\n        Runtime='python2.7',\r\n        Role=fn_role,\r\n        Handler=\"{0}.lambda_handler\".format(fn_name),\r\n        Code={ 'ZipFile': open(\"{0}.zip\".format(fn_name), 'rb').read(),},\r\n        Environment={\r\n            'Variables': {\r\n                'ENCRYPTED_VALUE': encrypted,\r\n                'PLAIN_TEXT_VALUE': plain_text,\r\n            }\r\n        },\r\n        KMSKeyArn=kms_key\r\n)<\/pre>\n
The tricky bit for me here was figuring out that I needed to pass the value that I wanted to base 64 encode the output of the value encrypted by the KMS client. The KMS client relies on a KMS key that we need to setup<\/a>. We can see a list of all our KMS keys by running the following command:<\/p>\n
$ aws kms list-keys<\/pre>\n
The format of these keys is arn:aws:kms:[zone]:[account-id]:key\/[key-id]<\/cite>.<\/p>\n
Now let\u2019s try executing our Lambda function from the AWS console:<\/p>\n
$ python CreateHelloWorldEncrypted.py<\/pre>\n
Let\u2019s check it got created:<\/p>\n
$ aws lambda list-functions --query \"Functions[*].FunctionName\"\r\n[\r\n    \"HelloWorldEncrypted\", \r\n]<\/pre>\n
And now let\u2019s execute the function:<\/p>\n
$ aws lambda invoke --function-name HelloWorldEncrypted --invocation-type RequestResponse --log-type Tail \/tmp\/out | jq \".LogResult\"\r\n\"U1RBUlQgUmVxdWVzdElkOiA5YmNlM2E1MC0xODMwLTExZTctYjFlNi1hZjQxZDYzMzYxZDkgVmVyc2lvbjogJExBVEVTVAooJ0RlY3J5cHRlZCB2YWx1ZTonLCAnYWJjZGVmZycpCignUGxhaW4gdGV4dDonLCAnaGlqa2xtbm8nKQpFTkQgUmVxdWVzdElkOiA5YmNlM2E1MC0xODMwLTExZTctYjFlNi1hZjQxZDYzMzYxZDkKUkVQT1JUIFJlcXVlc3RJZDogOWJjZTNhNTAtMTgzMC0xMWU3LWIxZTYtYWY0MWQ2MzM2MWQ5CUR1cmF0aW9uOiAzNjAuMDQgbXMJQmlsbGVkIER1cmF0aW9uOiA0MDAgbXMgCU1lbW9yeSBTaXplOiAxMjggTUIJTWF4IE1lbW9yeSBVc2VkOiAyNCBNQgkK\"<\/pre>\n
