Course Set-up
- A computer system to work on and run Vault. As a best practice, it is recommended that attendees use a Linux virtual machine (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, etc...) for the labs, preferably with at least 2 CPUs and 4 GB RAM. The instructor will be demonstrating on a Debian virtual machine.
To follow along with the labs, the system should have the following:
- The Vault CLI installed: https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/install
- VSCode installed: https://code.visualstudio.com/download
- Download this git repository: https://github.com/daveprowse/vac-course
- An AWS account with a separate IAM user (for testing purposes): https://aws.amazon.com/account/
Note: Attendees might incur a small charge from Amazon when running the AWS-based labs. Attendees can opt-out of running these labs and instead watch the instructor demos.
- Two monitors/systems recommended: One for the virtual machine, and one to watch the instructor demos.
