Note

Vault is currently being migrated from Bregenz to Hetzner.

We use Hashicorp Vault to store secrets. It is available at https://vault.bregenz.a1.cr8.net:8200. Note that the DNS will stay the same even when it is migrated to Hetzner.

Vault uses Consul as the storage mechanism.

The backup procedure for Vault/Consul is well documented in the infrastructure docs. tldr: the backups are in the cr8-backup-us-east-1 s3 bucket and use the standard Consul backup mechanism, as described in the infrastructure docs.
