HashiCorp Vault: Secrets Management

Master HashiCorp Vault end-to-end: from the seal/unseal ceremony and Shamir key sharing through dynamic database and cloud credentials, PKI, transit encryption-as-a-service, and Kubernetes-native injection. You will design policies, identity, and audit pipelines, then harden a production HA cluster with Raft, auto-unseal, snapshots, and zero-downtime upgrades. By the end you will own an architecture that eliminates static secrets, enforces least privilege, and survives operator turnover.
