Overview

Deploy and configure secure secrets management systems to store, rotate, and audit access to sensitive credentials, API keys, and certificates across your infrastructure.

When to Use

• Database credentials management
• API key and token storage
• Certificate management
• SSH key distribution
• Credential rotation automation
• Audit and compliance logging
• Multi-environment secrets
• Encryption key management

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

# vault-config.hcl
storage "raft" {
  path    = "/vault/data"
  node_id = "node1"
}

listener "tcp" {
  address       = "0.0.0.0:8200"
  tls_cert_file = "/vault/config/vault.crt"
  tls_key_file  = "/vault/config/vault.key"
}

api_addr     = "https://0.0.0.0:8200"
cluster_addr = "https://0.0.0.0:8201"
