What is HashiCorp Vault ?

HashiCorp Vault is a tool designed to secure, store, and tightly control access to tokens, passwords, certificates, API keys, and other sensitive data in modern computing. It provides a unified interface to any secret while providing tight access control and recording a detailed audit log.

Vault was built to address the difficult task of managing secrets and protecting sensitive data in a dynamic, distributed, and multi-cloud environment. It supports multiple types of backends for storing secrets, including in-memory, file system, and various cloud storage services.

Vault's main features include:

Secret Management: Vault secures and manages secrets. It provides a centralized location for storing and accessing these secrets.

Dynamic Secrets: Vault can generate dynamic secrets for AWS, SQL databases, and more. These secrets are generated on-demand and can be leased with a defined TTL (time-to-live).

Data Encryption: Vault can encrypt and decrypt data without storing it. This allows security teams to define encryption parameters and developers to access data encryption capabilities.

Leasing and Renewal: Secrets in Vault can be leased, which means they are given a specific lifetime. Once the lease expires, Vault will automatically revoke the secret.

Revocation: Vault can revoke not only single secrets, but a tree of secrets, for example, all secrets read by a specific user, or all secrets of a particular type.

Auditing: Vault has a built-in, powerful auditing system that can record all interactions with Vault. This is crucial for detecting potential misuse and for compliance purposes.
