Overview
This AMI has been packaged by Kurian using license free community versions of the software applications included for the ease of the deployment and implementing operational best practices.
HashiCorp Vault is a secrets management solution that brokers access for both humans and machines, through programmatic access, to systems. Secrets can be stored, dynamically generated, and in the case of encryption, keys can be consumed as a service without the need to expose the underlying key materials. The open source version of the Vault is a production grade secrets management system that could be integrated with your CI/CD pipeline or with any other application that requires highly secured dynamic management of secrets.
Kurian has released preconfigured software applications such as CMS platforms, Jenkins, databases, LAMP stack, Ansible, popular tools in DevOps toolchain, and monitoring applications that are widely used by system administrators and DevOps engineers. For selected Linux distributions hardened images based on CIS benchmark are also available. The Kurian AMIs are built following official installation steps so you do not need to learn any custom procedures if additional configurations need to be done.
Highlights
- AMI built with the latest, stable version of Hashicorp Vault.
- AMI compatible for spinning up nodes to run Vault on a single node or in a cluster.
- AMI is built on a patched operating system and the node created from this is ready to be deployed in production.
