HashiCorp Vault

HashiCorp Vault assists organizations in transitioning from static, legacy data centers to cloud-based secret management and data protection. Vault tackles two key challenges: securely storing, controlling, and safeguarding secrets, and protecting sensitive data and encryption keys. In Vault, a secret encompasses anything used for authentication or system and application access within an organization, including tokens, passwords, certificates, and encryption keys. Determining who has access to which secrets and systems, and pinpointing where these secrets are stored, is vital for cloud-based application operations. Vault offers a centralized method for storing, accessing, and distributing dynamic secrets.

By utilizing short-lived dynamic secrets, Vault minimizes breach risks through easy rotation and revocation of credentials, both on-demand and automatically. For sensitive data, Vault ensures encryption both at rest and in transit using advanced cryptographic protocols, removing the need for costly key management solutions and providing a consistent encryption standard across the organization.

HashiCorp Vault is one the Easydeploy App provided by Scaleway. You will find below all the information to deploy it on Scaleway Kubernetes clusters.
