Week 5 - Wrap-Up

This week we introduced managing your Vault cluster with the Terraform Provider for Vault. Terraform is an infrastructure as code which enables the operation team to codify the Vault configuration tasks such as the creation of policies. Automation through codification allows operators to increase their productivity, move quicker, promote repeatable processes, and reduce human error.

We also explored performance tuning your Vault deployment and Usage Metrics. You’ll gain experience with the Vault Metrics dashboard in Web UI.

Next steps
