HashiCorp Exam Vault-Associate Topic 4 Question 2 Discussion

Actual exam question for HashiCorp's Vault-Associate exam
Question #: 2
Topic #: 4
[All Vault-Associate Questions]

Which statement describes the results of this command: $ vault secrets enable transit

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The command vault secrets enable transit enables the transit secrets engine at the transit path. The transit secrets engine is a secrets engine that handles cryptographic functions on data in-transit, such as encryption, decryption, signing, verification, hashing, and random bytes generation. The transit secrets engine does not store the data sent to it, but only performs the requested operations and returns the results. The transit secrets engine can also be viewed as ''cryptography as a service'' or ''encryption as a service''. The command vault secrets enable transit uses the default path of transit for the secrets engine, but this can be changed by using the -path option. For example, vault secrets enable -path=my-transit transit would enable the transit secrets engine at the my-transit path.Reference:Transit - Secrets Engines | Vault | HashiCorp Developer,vault secrets enable - Command | Vault | HashiCorp Developer

Agreed. I'm going with A as well. The command enables the transit secrets engine at the default 'transit' path. Let's move on to the next question - I'm feeling good about this exam so far!

Haha, yeah, that would be pretty funny. Like, 'Oops, you didn't know the transit engine was already enabled? Amateur move!' But in all seriousness, I think you're right, Devon. A seems to be the best answer here.

Okay, let me think through this step-by-step. The command is 'vault secrets enable transit', so it's definitely enabling the transit secrets engine. Based on the options, I'd say A is the correct answer - it enables the engine at the 'transit' path, which is the default.

Ah, I see what you mean. That makes sense. The other options don't seem quite right. Although, I have to admit, 'Fails because the transit secrets engine is enabled by default' (option E) made me chuckle a bit. Can you imagine?
