Announcing HashiCorp Vault 1.2

We are excited to announce the public availability of HashiCorp Vault 1.2. Vault is a tool to provide secrets management, data encryption, and identity management for any infrastructure and application. Vault 1.2 is focused on supporting new architectures for automated credential and cryptographic key management at a global, highly-distributed scale.

Effective Secrets with Vault and Kubernetes

Kubernetes is the de facto standard for container orchestration and Vault by HashiCorp is the de facto standard for secrets management. Now the question is: how do you combine those technologies so that you can use secrets from your central Vault instance in your Kubernetes applications? One solution would be to use the AppRole auth method.

The release also includes additional new features, secure workflow enhancements, general improvements, and bug fixes. The Vault 1.1 changelog provides a full list of features, enhancements, and bug fixes. Vault agent now supports client-side caching of leased secrets.
