#### Vault is a tool for securely accessing secrets.

A modern system requires access to a multitude of secrets: database
credentials, API keys for external services, credentials for service-oriented
architecture communication, etc. Understanding who is accessing what secrets
is already very difficult and platform-specific. Adding on key rolling,
secure storage, and detailed audit logs is almost impossible without a custom
solution. This is where Vault steps in.

This snap is maintained by Canonical.

**Usage**

* To start the Vault service, edit the configuration file at `/var/snap/vault/common/vault.hcl` and start the service with `sudo snap start vault.vaultd`.
* To use the Vault Client, run `vault` commands. For example: `vault status`.
