Frequently Asked Questions
What is HashiCorp Vault used for?
Vault is a secrets management tool that stores, encrypts and controls access to credentials, tokens and keys. It can also generate short-lived dynamic secrets for databases and cloud platforms.
What are dynamic secrets?
Dynamic secrets are credentials Vault creates on demand with a limited lifetime, such as a temporary database user. Because they expire automatically, a leaked credential has little value to an attacker.
How do I learn Vault policies and authentication?
Practise configuring auth methods, writing least-privilege policies and requesting secrets. The Vault room on Codelivly is free and hands-on, taking you through each step with realistic exercises.
