Vault supports many storage backends to persist its encrypted data (e.g. Consul, MySQL, DynamoDB, etc.).

These backends require:

* Their own administration; increasing complexity and total administration.

* Configuration to allow Vault as a client.

* Vault configuration to connect to the provider as a client.


Solution


Use Vault's Integrated Storage to persist the encrypted data. The integrated storage has the following benefits:

* Integrated into Vault (reducing total administration).

* All configuration within Vault.

* Supports failover and multi-cluster replication.

* Eliminates additional network requests.

* Lowers complexity when diagnosing issues (leading to faster time to recovery).
