Requirements

HashiCorp Vault secures, stores, and tightly controls access to tokens, passwords, certificates, API keys, and other secrets in modern computing

HashiCorp Vault is a tool that is used to store, process, and generally manage any kind of credentials. It removes the need for traditional databases that are used to store user credentials. Even though it provides storage for credentials, it also provides many more features. You will be able to create and revoke secrets, grant time-based access, IP-based access, and much more.

Vault comes with various pluggable components called secrets engines and authentication methods allowing you to integrate with external systems. The purpose of those components is to manage and protect your secrets in dynamic infrastructure (e.g. database credentials, passwords, API keys).

What you will learn in this course:

  • As an administrator or developer how to manage, deploy& configure Vault on kubernetes cluster
  • How to connect PODs/application with Vault via Injector
  • Deploy & manager Vault on Azure Kubernetes Cluster
  • Manage different components like secrets, users, policies and many more via UI/API/CLI
  • Champion Vault in less then 4 hours with ALL Demos
