HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) Vault enables you to deploy a Vault Enterprise cluster in a supported public cloud provider. As a fully managed service, you can use Vault as a central secret management service while offloading the operational burden to the Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) experts at HashiCorp.

Previous experience with Vault and Vault Enterprise is not required to deploy a Vault cluster in HCP.

In this tutorial, you will deploy a Vault Enterprise cluster guided by the HCP portal.

Prerequisites

Create a Vault cluster

Note

This tutorial assumes you have not created a HashiCorp Virtual Network (HVN) in your HashiCorp Cloud Platform account.

  1. Launch the HCP Portal and log in.

    If you have logged in before, the portal opens the last project you were in. Navigate back to the organization level from the breadcrumbs, or click on the HashiCorp icon at the top-left to choose another organization.

  2. Click on the HashiCorp icon to list your organizations, and select the organization to create an HCP Vault Dedicated cluster in.
