Vault KV realm

Important

This tutorial will guide you into deploying the sample policy management provided by the project.

This is NOT the only way to manage policies, it illustrates only a naive but operating implementation for a first use case of:

  • creating a kv space dedicated to an application

  • creating a policy for an admin profile that will manage secrets in this kv space (rw)

  • creating a policy for an user profile that will consume secrets in this kv space (ro)

Prerequisites

Steps

As root: Create a global policy manager

As Policy Manager: Create a kv realm

Achievement Unlocked

You now have a delegatable KV realm for applications.
