Vault Auto-Auth Kubernetes Method
Kubernetes Method for Vault Auto-Auth

Vault Auto-Auth kubernetes method

The kubernetes method reads in a Kubernetes service account token from the running pod (via /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token) and sends it to the Kubernetes Auth method.

Configuration

  • role (string: required) - The role to authenticate against on Vault
  • token_path (string: optional) - The file path to a custom JWT token to use for authentication. If omitted, the default service account token path is used.

Tutorial

Refer to the Vault Agent with Kubernetes tutorial to learn how to authenticate the clients using a Kubernetes Service Account Token and manage the tokens lifecycle.
