Week 2 - Wrap-up
This week you explored deploying and configuring Vault Enterprise based on a best practice reference architecture. Registry modules were introduced and how they can be used for setting up a vault deployment quickly. We also discussed the considerations and potential approaches to upgrade your existing Vault OSS cluster to Vault Enterprise and gave platform-specific examples in AWS and GCP environments.
