Vault Agent Automation
Master Vault Agent for automatic authentication, intelligent caching, and template rendering to create vault-unaware applications.
Lab Overview
Learn to configure and use Vault Agent for automated authentication using AppRole, intelligent caching for performance optimization, and template rendering to deliver secrets to applications without requiring them to integrate directly with Vault.
You'll learn to:
- Configure Vault Agent with AppRole auto-authentication
- Implement token sinks and understand token renewal lifecycle
- Use Vault Agent's intelligent caching for performance optimization
