[All HCVA0-003 Questions]

Your organization has an initiative to reduce and ultimately remove the use of long lived X.509 certificates. Which secrets engine will best support this use case?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The PKI secrets engine is designed to support the use case of reducing and ultimately removing the use of long lived X.509 certificates. The PKI secrets engine can generate dynamic X.509 certificates on demand, with short time-to-live (TTL) and automatic revocation. This eliminates the need for manual processes of generating, signing, and rotating certificates, and reduces the risk of certificate compromise or misuse. The PKI secrets engine can also act as a certificate authority (CA) or an intermediate CA, and can integrate with external CAs or CRLs. The PKI secrets engine can issue certificates for various purposes, such as TLS, SSH, code signing, email encryption, etc. Reference: https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/secrets/pki1, https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/tutorials/getting-started/getting-started-dynamic-secrets

I'm picturing some poor sysadmin trying to wrangle those X.509 certificates, and I can't help but chuckle. B is the answer, let's put them out of their misery!

Why even bother with the other choices? It's like trying to put lipstick on a pig. B is the clear winner, no doubt about it.

Ooh, the Transit engine could be interesting, but I'm not trying to be a rocket scientist here. Gotta go with the simple and straightforward option, B baby!

That makes sense, but I still think C) Cloud KMS could also be a good option for managing certificates securely.

I disagree, I believe B) Key/Value secrets engine version 2 with TTL defined is the best choice as it allows for expiration of certificates.

I mean, who needs long-lived certificates when you can just have Vault handle everything for you? B is the way to go, hands down.

But wouldn't PKI be a better option for managing certificates?

The Key/Value secrets engine version 2 with TTL defined sounds like the perfect solution to this use case. Definitely going with B!

Let's go with B then, Key/Value secrets engine version 2 with TTL defined seems like the most efficient choice.

Cloud KMS could work, but I think Transit might not be the most suitable option for this initiative.

I think the best option is A) PKI because it deals with certificates.
