Jack Wallen shows you how to create both local and AWS secrets engines with Hashicorp's Vault.

In my previous Vault tutorial, How to use the Vault command line tool to store your code secrets, I showed you how to install the tool and how to store a secret in the Vault server.

This time around I'm going to show you how to work with Vault Secrets Engines, which are components that store, generate, or encrypt data and can connect to other services to generate dynamic credentials on demand.

If you issue the command vault secrets list, you'll see kv listed twice.

Figure A. How to add a new secret to the Secrets Engine.

Congratulations, you've created your first Secrets Engines and generated key pairs.
