Many engineers encounter complexity while managing access to secrets and keys for public cloud environments. Most of the time, developers are given permission to create their own sets of keys and use them wherever they want, without any oversight. This could potentially lead to scenarios where the keys might be uploaded accidentally to Git repositories or be hardcoded within the app itself.

In this talk, you'll learn how to use HashiCorp Vault to manage the entire lifecycle of secrets used within AWS. This includes the creation, deletion, expiration, logging, and rotation of access and secret keys — a crucial component in building secure cloud infrastructure.
