vault-cookbook
Application cookbook for installing and configuring Hashicorp Vault.
Vault is a tool, which when used properly, manages secure access to secrets for your infrastructure.
Basic Usage
This cookbook was designed from the ground up to make it dead simple to install and configure a Vault cluster using Chef. It also highlights several of our best practices for developing reusable infrastructure at Bloomberg.
This cookbook provides node attributes which can be used to fine tune the default recipe which installs and configures Kafka. The values from the node attributes are passed directly into the configuration and service resources.
Out of the box the following platforms are certified to work and are tested using our [Test Kitchen][8] configuration. Additional platforms may work, but your mileage may vary.
- CentOS (RHEL) 6.6, 7.1
- Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04
The correct way to use this cookbook is to create a wrapper cookbook which configures all the members of the Vault cluster. We provide an example Vault Cluster cookbook which utilizes our Consul cookbook for a highly-available storage solution for the cluster.
