Azure Service Bus Key Rotation Guide¶

This guide outlines the manual process of rotating the keys for Azure Service Bus used in our infrastructure.
🔒 Note: There is currently no automation or script available for this task — it must be done manually.

🔁 Key Rotation Steps¶

Follow these steps carefully to rotate the Azure Service Bus keys without service disruption:

Check Current Key Usage
- In the global Key Vault, identify which key is currently being used:
  Primary Key or Secondary Key.
Regenerate the Unused Key
- Go to the Azure Portal.
- Navigate to the relevant Azure Service Bus namespace.
- Regenerate the key that is not currently in use (either Primary or Secondary).
Update Key Vault Secrets
- Replace the corresponding key values in Azure Key Vault.
Restart All Application Pods
- Restrt pod from one service to test if it can connect to service bus
- Restart all pods to ensure they pick up the updated credentials from Key Vault.

⚠️ Important Notes¶

❌ Do not regenerate the key currently in use.
✅ Always confirm the active key before regenerating the other.
🛠 This is a manual operation and requires careful handling.
