vault

A modern system requires access to a multitude of secrets: database
credentials, API keys for external services, credentials for service-oriented
architecture communication, etc. Understanding who is accessing what secrets
is already very difficult and platform-specific. Adding on key rolling,
secure storage, and detailed audit logs is almost impossible without a custom
solution. This is where Vault steps in.

• To start the Vault service, edit the configuration file at /var/snap/vault/common/vault.hcl and start the service with sudo snap start vault.vaultd.
