Introduction

{Vault} lets you centrally store and manage secrets securely. The {PlatformNameShort} certified hashicorp.vault collection provides fully automated Key/Value V1 and V2 (KV1 and KV2) secret lifecycle management for {Vault}. You can create, update, and delete secrets through playbooks.

• Existing community.hashi_vault users: The hashicorp.vault solution is intended to replace unsupported community.hashi_vault collection. Use the migration path to keep your existing playbooks. For more information about migrating, see Migrating from community.hashi_vault.

• New {Vault} users: The hashicorp.vault collection is included in the supported execution environment from {HubName}.

Note	Although the hashicorp.vault and hashi.terraform collections work independently of each other and are designed for different tasks, you can use them together in advanced workflows.
