Where does the Vault Agent store its cache?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The Vault Agent stores its cache in memory, which means that it does not persist the cached tokens and secrets to disk or any other storage backend. This makes the cache more secure and performant, as it avoids exposing the sensitive data to potential attackers or unauthorized access. However, this also means that the cache is volatile and will be lost if the agent process is terminated or restarted. To mitigate this, the agent can optionally use a persistent cache file to restore the tokens and leases from a previous agent process. The persistent cache file is encrypted using a key derived from the agent's auto-auth token and a nonce, and it is stored in a user-specified location on disk.

A, for sure. Encrypted files are the way to go. Can't have anyone snooping around my Vault transit secrets, that's just asking for trouble.

B sounds about right. The Vault key/value store is the perfect place to stash all my top-secret data. Hacker-proof, am I right?

D! Definitely in memory, where else would a secret agent store their cache? Gotta keep those spy moves hidden, you know.
