This has been great so far just got confused a bit when you explain policy’s did not realise that you were creating the .Hcl files in the /etc/vault.d/ which am assuming is setup on each vault server. But amazing course Just a thought as i was going though the course, there are times in your examples were you show a command but you don’t reminder us that you had already run a command. E.g. root@ubuntu-xenial:~# vault secrets enable -description="secrets db6 kv-v2" -path="kv/app/db6" kv-v2 Success! Enabled the kv-v2 secrets engine at: kv/app/db6/ YOU FORGET TO MENTION THAT YOU HAD PREVIOUSLY RAN THE COMMAD ABOVE. root@ubuntu-xenial:~# vault kv put kv/app/db6/database pass=12345 user=admin ====== Secret Path ====== kv/app/db6/data/database ======= Metadata ======= Key Value --- ----- created_time 2023-06-21T09:31:57.821073096Z custom_metadata <nil> deletion_time n/a destroyed false version 1 root@ubuntu-xenial:~# vault kv get kv/app/db6/database ====== Secret Path ====== kv/app/db6/data/database ======= Metadata ======= Key Value --- ----- created_time 2023-06-21T09:31:57.821073096Z custom_metadata <nil> deletion_time n/a destroyed false version 1 ==== Data ==== Key Value --- ----- pass 12345 user admin But enjoying the course
