Question 1

You are the primary Vault operator. During a routine audit, an auditor requested the ability to display all secrets under a specific path in Vault without seeing the actual stored data. Which policy permits the auditor to display the stored secrets without revealing their contents?

Correct Answer: C
Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
The list capability allows viewing secret names without data. The Vault documentation states:
"The list capability is required to list keys at a path without necessarily being able to read the data at those paths. The + symbol is a directory replacement and ANY value would be permitted in that path segment."
-Vault Policies: Capabilities
-Vault Policies: Policy Syntax
* C: Correct. Lists all secrets under kv/<anything>/production:
"This policy allows the auditor to list all secrets under the specified path kv/+/production without being able to read the actual stored data."
-Vault Policies: Capabilities
* A,B: Too narrow, missing some secrets.
* D: Includes read, exposing data.

Question 2

An Active Directory admin created a service account for an internal application. You want to store these credentials in Vault, allowing a CI/CD pipeline to read and configure the application with them during provisioning. Vault should maintain the last 3 versions of this secret. Which Vault secrets engine should you use?

Correct Answer: D
Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
The requirement is to store static credentials (from Active Directory) in Vault with versioning (last 3 versions) for a CI/CD pipeline. The KV v2 secrets engine is designed for this: it stores arbitrary key-value pairs and supports versioning, allowing configuration of a maximum version count (e.g., vault kv metadata put -max- versions=3 kv/path). KV v1 (option A) lacks versioning. The LDAPengine (B) is for dynamic LDAP credentials, not static storage. The Identity engine (C) manages identities, not secrets. KV v2's versioning capability meets all needs, per its documentation.

Question 3

True or False? Once the minimum decryption version is set on an encryption key, older versions of the key are removed from Vault and are no longer available for decryption operations.

Correct Answer: B
Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth Explanation:
The statement isFalse. Setting the minimum decryption version does not remove older key versions. The HashiCorp Vault documentation states: "Key versions that are earlier than a key's specified min_decryption_version get archived, and the rest of the key versions belong to the working set. In an emergency, the min_decryption_version can be moved back to allow for legitimate decryption." Older versions remain available for decryption if needed.
The docs add: "Archiving a key version does not delete it; it simply marks it as outside the active working set, but Vault retains it for potential use." Thus, older versions are not removed, making B correct.

Question 4

Your organization has many applications needing heavy read access to Vault. As these applications integrate with Vault, the primary Vault cluster's performance is negatively impacted. What feature can you use to scale the cluster and improve performance?

Correct Answer: D
Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
To address performance issues from heavy read access, Vault Enterprise offersperformancestandby nodes:
* D. Add performance standby nodes: These nodes handle read-only requests locally, offloading the primary cluster. "Vault Enterprise offers additional features that allow HA nodes to service read-only requests on the local standby node," improving scalability and performance.
* Incorrect Options:
* A. Additional Standby Nodes: Standard HA standby nodes focus on failover, not read scaling.
"May help with high availability, but not directly address performance."
* B. Multiple Secrets Engines: Organizes secrets but doesn't scale read performance. "Does not directly address performance issues."
* C. Control Groups: A resource management feature, not for scaling Vault. "Not directly related to scaling the Vault cluster." Performance standby nodes distribute read workloads effectively in Vault Enterprise.

Question 5

By default, what methods of authentication does Vault support? (Select four)

Correct Answer: B,D,E,F
Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
Vault supports multiple auth methods by default. The Vault documentation states:
"Auth methods are the components in Vault that perform authentication and are responsible for assigning identity and a set of policies to a user. Available auth methods include AppRole, JWT/OIDC, Kubernetes, LDAP, and more."
-Vault Auth Methods
* B: Kubernetes is supported:
"Kubernetes authentication method in Vault allows Kubernetes service accounts to authenticate with Vault."
-Vault Auth: Kubernetes
* D: LDAP is supported:
"LDAP authentication method allows users to authenticate against an LDAP directory."
-Vault Auth: LDAP
* E: AppRole is supported:
"AppRole authentication method in Vault allows machines or applications to authenticate with Vault."
-Vault Auth: AppRole
* F: JWT is supported:
"JWT authentication method in Vault allows users to authenticate using JSON Web Tokens (JWT)."
-Vault Auth: JWT
* A: SSH is a secrets engine, not an auth method.
* C: VMware is not a default auth method.
