I will be sitting for the Vault Certification soon. I whipped up some decent flashcards for it that I wanted to post here.
So I started by doing a Udemy course on Vault. It was a good overview, which is a good start. Just want 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 kinda noticed was with #3, you kinda 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 not quite as good, but if you’re feeling confident go for it. But you can learn the different paths, wildcards, allowed operations, etc.
With this I’m finding myself passing the test exams pretty easily.
