The lease command groups subcommands for interacting with leases attached to secrets.

Subcommands:

renew Renews the lease of a secret

revoke Revokes leases and secrets

Using the '-prefix' flag allows you to revoke the entire tree of secrets.

tostring is not a string function, it is a type conversion function. tostring converts its argument to a string value. https://www.terraform.io/docs/configuration/functions/tostring.html

After authenticating, a client is issued a security token which is associated with a policy. That token is used to make a subsequent request to Vault, such as read, write, etc.

The kv metadata command has subcommands for interacting with the metadata and versions for the versioned secrets (K/V Version 2 secrets engine) at the specified path.

The kv metadata delete command deletes all versions and metadata for the provided key.

The terraform taint command manually marks a Terraform-managed resource as tainted, forcing it to be destroyed and recreated on the next apply. This command will not modify infrastructure but does modify the state file in order to mark a resource as tainted. Once a resource is marked as tainted, the next plan will show that the resource will be destroyed and recreated. The next terraform apply will

implement this change.

If you're running Vault in a non-prod environment, you can configure Vault to disable TLS.

In this case, TLS has been disabled but the default value for VAULT_ADDR is https://127.0.0.1:8200, therefore Vault is sending the request over HTTPS but Vault is responding using HTTP since TLS is disabled.

To handle this error, set the VAULT_ADDR environment variable to "http://127.0.0.1:8200 ".

Input variables serve as parameters for a Terraform module, allowing aspects of the module to be customized without altering the module's own source code, and allowing modules to be shared between different configurations.

If you are already using Terraform to manage infrastructure, you probably want to transfer to another backend, such as Terraform Cloud, so you can continue managing it. By migrating your Terraform state, you can hand off infrastructure without de-provisioning anything.

Vault doesn't store the data sent to the secrets engine.

The transit secrets engine handles cryptographic functions on data-in-transit. It can also be viewed as "cryptography as a service" or "encryption as a service". The transit secrets engine can also sign and verify data; generate hashes and HMACs of data; and act as a source of random bytes.
