saltext-vault: Integrate Salt with Vault

This Salt Extension provides modules for interacting with Vault by HashiCorp, a secrets and encryption management system. You only need to setup your Salt master, which will then orchestrate minion authentications for you.

Currently, you can

  • manage and dynamically retrieve secrets from the KV v1 and v2 secret backends

  • manage Vault policies

  • write your own modules on top of the provided utilities

There’s much more coming though.
