Category: Database, Data, Hashicorp, encryption, github, automation

We are pleased to announce the general availability of https://www.vaultproject.io/downloads. Vault provides secrets management, data encryption, and identity management for any application on any infrastructure.

In this release, we added the ability for Vault to act as an OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider, made improvements to the https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/how-to-choose-a-data-protection-method data transformation feature, released Google Cloud KMS support for the key management secrets engine, and made many other improvements across the project.

These database encryption keys (DEKs), can be protected by asymmetric key encryption keys (KEKs), managed by Vault's Transit secrets engine using SQL Server's Extensible Key Management (EKM).

In addition to supporting both AWS KMS and Microsoft Azure Key Vault, we are happy to announce that the key management secrets engine is now also ready for production use with Google Cloud KMS.
