HashiCorp Vault

HashiCorp Vault provides secrets management, dynamic credentials, and identity-based access for cloud infrastructure. It excels at brokering short-lived tokens yet still centers on a secrets engine rather than Teleport's hardware-rooted cryptographic identity for every human, machine, and AI actor. Teams already invested in the HashiCorp ecosystem may retain Vault for application secrets while adopting Teleport to unify infrastructure access and remove VPN complexity.
