01:27 Vault 1.14 brings ACME for PKI, AWS roles, and more improvements

HashiCorp recently announced the general availability of ACME for PKI.

Vault 1.14 focuses on Vault’s core secrets workflows as well as team workflows, integrations, and visibility.

This allows you to use Vault to manage your TLS certificates, using the ACME protocol.

This allows you to use Vault to manage your AWS IAM roles, making it easier to grant access to your applications.

Vault has also been optimized for better performance, especially for large deployments.

A number of bugs have been fixed, improving the stability and security of Vault.
