I currently push secret data to our target namespaces. Before joining the company, I managed everything in HashiCorp Vault, but now I'm just a consumer. We use it to store service principal credentials for Azure provisioning.

We're a VoIP service provider, and we have a lot of particular requirements. Whatever we use must have a RESTful API. We also have very particular requirements around our backup, logging, and key lifecycle. That's because we have an American parent, who applies a lot of niche standards. My parent company is a big client of theirs. So, the overall group engages HashiCorp. It has gotten to the point where they actually reference HashiCorp as the tool of choice. I ran a really detailed proof of concept for our business for six months. I got from HashiCorp one of their premium licenses, and we ran a test of it for six months, but it is not in use at the moment. We were using it for an on-prem implementation. I personally tested the HashiCorp cloud (HCP) on my personal laptop. I tested the premium version, which is the binary download, but it doesn't allow you to do clusters. It was a very limited use case, but we needed something on-prem. We are all on-prem. We don't operate in the cloud. So, we needed something to work with our on-prem setup. So, we weren't not doing a trial of the cloud version.
One of our primary use cases of HashiCorp Vault is security, to keep things secret. Instead of going for any particular cloud-based solution, this is cloud agnostic. We can go for any cloud solution when we have a hybrid solution in place, so Vault is always recommended for it. This solution is cloud-based.

Primarily, we use this solution for the secret management side of things. Initially, we were using Azure Key Vault, but we kind of shifted to HashiCorp Vault because we are using Terraform scripts, etc. We needed a common storage mechanism.
We are currently conducting a PoC with HashiCorp vault to see if it meets our requirements. I have ten different use cases for the evaluation. We are integrating it into our Key Management Service. In my previous company, we were using it to store all of our keys and secret certificates.

This is a Secrets Management framework to manage a keystore, certificates, and passwords dynamically in a Platform as a Service context, such as Vanilla Kubernetes Platforms, Rancher, Meso, Tectonic, and Origin/OpenShift Enterprise Platforms. Whatever the platform, this product can help provide good security and be PCI Compliant.
Enterprise password management solutions store and administer sensitive data such as passwords, records, and identity credentials for organizations. Since most cyber-attacks use legitimate credentials to enter an organization, password security is an essential part of an organization’s security posture.
