HashiCorp Certified: Vault Operations Professional 2022
Employ the Vault Security Model
Section Overview Employ the Vault Security Model
In this section, we dive into the HashiCorp Vault security model. This conceptual lesson covers two essential topics without any hands-on labs or demos:
| Topic | What You’ll Learn |
|---|---|
| Secure introduction of Vault clients | Best practices for authenticating and authorizing applications and users. |
| Security implications of running Vault on Kubernetes | Key considerations when deploying Vault within Kubernetes clusters. |
Note
This section is purely conceptual. Focus on terminology, security considerations, and Vault architecture rather than practical implementation.
When preparing for the HashiCorp Certified: Vault Operations Professional exam, “describe” questions assess your theoretical grasp of these topics, often in a multiple-choice format.
Warning
No demos or labs are provided here. For hands-on practice, consult the Vault documentation and Kubernetes Basics.
Focus on understanding how Vault handles client authentication, authorization, and the security trade-offs when running Vault in a Kubernetes environment.
