This hands-on course provides a practical introduction to secrets management using HashiCorp Vault, one of the most widely used tools for securely storing and managing sensitive data in modern infrastructure and applications. If you’ve ever wondered how organizations securely manage API keys, passwords, database credentials, certificates, or cloud access tokens, this course is for you.
We focus on learning by doing. There are no theory-heavy slides or unnecessary complexity. Instead, you’ll work directly with Vault from the very beginning using mostly the CLI. We will start by understanding what secrets management is, why it matters in modern systems, and how Vault helps solve real-world security challenges. Then we move straight into practice. We will have our Vault installed locally, run it in both development and production modes, and learn how to securely store and retrieve secrets.
