We recently published a new collection of tutorials for Vault focused on helping those who are new to Vault understand features, why they might be used, and how to use the CLI, API, and Terraform.
This collection is named foundations - like the foundation of a building, you have to have a solid foundation before you start building for advanced concepts.
If you’re new to Vault, or just generally interested we would love to get your feedback.
We’d also love your feedback so we can continue to improve these tutorials and either fill in gaps to the foundation knowledge or add to some new upcoming tutorials that dive deeper after the foundations level tutorials.
I’ve been following the Vault tutorials and noticed a small typo in the document Introduction to policies".
Here is what the document says:
Logically, Alice wants to ensure that a user can create and update secrets at a certain path. Another requirement is Alice needs to ensure they only have read access to a second path.
Oliver maps the logical requirement to the Vault k/v secrets engine used with a Vault dev mode server. Oliver defines a policy that permits create, and update to the secrets/data/creds path.
For the second requirement, the policy will allow only read at the /secret/data/creds/confidential path.
I believe the path should read ‘secret/data/creds’ not secrets/data/creds
