Vault Certification
I will be sitting for the Vault certification soon. I whipped up some decent flashcards for it that I wanted to post here.
I started by doing a Udemy course on Vault. It was a good overview, which is a good start — just to see what all Vault is used for, what it can do, etc. It was enough to get me started using it for projects, but I’m driven for some certifications still.
I took the material and basically broke it down into a couple of categories. It’s not all that the cert covers, but it’s a good start.
- Vault CLI
- Vault Policies
- Vault Secret Engines (KV, Transit, etc.)
What I noticed was that with #3, you kind of need to know them to do the CLI commands. So I made 2 flashcard decks.
- Vault CLI — Quiz with the Written option enabled. You need to write the proper command. Good way to learn them.
- Vault Policies — Quiz with Written enabled isn’t quite as good, but if you’re feeling confident go for it. You can learn the different paths, wildcards, allowed operations, etc.
With these I’m finding myself passing the practice exams pretty easily.
