Great addon for secrets management in pipelines.

PROS

I use vault for secrets management Jenkins pipelines which was really easy to setup and test retrieval with the vault plugin. We can separate secrets in different directories and add RBAC so admins can only read

CONS

Will like to have a Hashicorp plugin in the Azure DevOps marketplace for easier integration.

Reasons for switching to Vault

Easier integration with Terraform

Industry standard vault for secrets storage and management

My experience are both setup a Vault solution and storage and consume between system and user, intragrate with clouds for OIDC SSO.

PROS

Has both API, terminal and UI acces, is easy to setup in every cloud as product and on-premise, license is still admisible and is easy to build and integrate with products and DevOps tools.

CONS

Its backup can ba a bit simpler, it think is overcomplicated.

Reason for choosing Vault

Industry standard and you have a lot of professionals who know or have worked with.

A Good tool to secure the sensitive data

Since applications have credentials, certificates etc that are spread across the organizations and since these are in plain text which makes an application vulnerable to attacks. For this purpose, HashiCorp Vault is used in order to secure the credentials and other sensitive data. It can be used to authenticate a user either via passwords or some dynamic configuration that would generate the tokens which are temporary and these tokens can be used to access the resource.

PROS

Easy to use and configureProvides encryption for storing Sensitive data like passwords, certificates etc

CONS

No dislikes as such since it is powerful tool to keep the sensitive data

Vault for Secrets Management

Vault is a key part of a company's secret management. Without it we would have to pay for a managed service by a cloud provider.

PROS

Vault is a quick and easy way to securely store secrets for access by multiple users/teams. It provides a service which is highly configurable and open source.

CONS

As Vault is a key-value store masked as a file-traverser, it can sometimes be unclear in which directory a secret is stored.
