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:
TopicWhat You’ll Learn
Secure introduction of Vault clientsBest practices for authenticating and authorizing applications and users.
Security implications of running Vault on KubernetesKey considerations when deploying Vault within Kubernetes clusters.
The image is an objective overview slide titled "Employ the Vault Security Model," listing two objectives: describing the secure introduction of Vault clients and the security implications of running Vault on Kubernetes. It also features a Vault certification badge and a cartoon character.
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.
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.
