Vault Dynamic Secret Lifecycle Pipeline

How Vault Eliminates Static Credentials

STEP 01

K8s ServiceAccount Auth

Pod authenticates to Vault via OIDC JWT without hardcoded tokens or passwords.

STEP 02

Dynamic DB Credential

Vault issues a 60-minute single-use PostgreSQL user specifically for that pod.

STEP 03

Transit Data Encryption

Encrypts sensitive payload fields via AES-256-GCM before writing to the database.

STEP 04

Automated Lease Revocation

When the pod terminates or 60 mins expire, Vault deletes the DB user automatically.

HashiCorp Vault Technical FAQ

Kubernetes Secrets are base64-encoded strings, not encrypted by default. HashiCorp Vault provides centralized multi-cloud secrets management, dynamic credential generation (where credentials expire in 1 hour), transit encryption, and unified SOC 2 audit logs across AWS, GCP, and Azure.
