HashiCorp has announced that dynamic provider credentials in HashiCorp Terraform Cloud now support Vault dynamic secrets engines, allowing for consolidated cloud access and reduced risks associated with managing long-lived credentials. This feature enables the automation of short-lived credentials for cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, and integrates with HashiCorp Vault to provide a seamless approach for securing cloud provisioning workflows. The unified workflow eliminates the need for manual credential rotation, offers better security and auditing capabilities, and provides a consolidated management platform for all cloud credentials and secrets. To set up Vault-backed dynamic credentials, users must perform three steps: configure the Vault provider, select an appropriate secrets engine in Vault, and add environment variables to their Terraform Cloud configuration. This feature enhances the existing Terraform Cloud dynamic provider credentials feature by integrating with HashiCorp Vault, allowing for a unified approach to managing cloud credentials and secrets.
