[All Vault-Associate Questions]

Which Vault secret engine may be used to build your own internal certificate authority?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The Vault secret engine that can be used to build your own internal certificate authority is the PKI secret engine. The PKI secret engine generates dynamic X.509 certificates on-demand, without requiring manual processes of generating private keys and CSRs, submitting to a CA, and waiting for verification and signing. The PKI secret engine can act as a root CA or an intermediate CA, and can issue certificates for various purposes, such as TLS, code signing, email encryption, etc. The PKI secret engine can also manage the certificate lifecycle, such as rotation, revocation, renewal, and CRL generation. The PKI secret engine can also integrate with external CAs, such as Venafi or Entrust, to delegate the certificate issuance and management.Reference:PKI - Secrets Engines | Vault | HashiCorp Developer,Build Your Own Certificate Authority (CA) | Vault - HashiCorp Learn

I'm not sure, but I think Transit could also be used for this purpose.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Do I really want to deal with the hassle of managing my own CA? Maybe I'll just stick with the Transit engine and let Vault handle the encryption for me.
