# Azure Key Vault Keys Client Library Python Samples

## Prerequisites

You must have an [Azure subscription](https://azure.microsoft.com/free) and an [Azure Key Vault](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/key-vault/general/overview) to run these samples. You can create a key vault with the [Azure CLI](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/key-vault/general/quick-create-cli).

You can also run these samples with a [Key Vault Managed HSM][managed_hsm]. If you need to create a Managed HSM, you can do so using the Azure CLI by following the steps in [this document][managed_hsm_cli].

## Setup

To run these samples, first install the Key Vault Keys and Azure Identity libraries:

```commandline
pip install azure-keyvault-keys azure-identity
```

[Azure Identity](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/blob/main/sdk/identity/azure-identity/README.md) is used for authenticating Key Vault clients. These samples use the
[DefaultAzureCredential](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/blob/main/sdk/identity/azure-identity/README.md#defaultazurecredential), but any credential from the library can be used with Key Vault clients.
