The blog post outlines the deployment of HashiCorp Vault on HashiCorp Nomad, detailing the infrastructure setup and configuration using HCP Terraform. It emphasizes Vault's role in secure secrets management and highlights Nomad's simplicity and efficiency in scheduling and managing clusters compared to Kubernetes. The deployment involves creating a virtual private cloud (VPC) on AWS with multiple virtual machines (VMs) for Nomad servers and clients, including a backup server for Vault. The post discusses the use of Terraform to manage different workspaces and remote backends, ensuring separate yet interdependent configurations for infrastructure and Vault deployment. It also covers the necessity of configuring security groups, IP addresses, and other prerequisites, such as SSH key pairs and cloud-init scripts, for the Nomad server and client VMs. Additionally, the post introduces TerraCurl for API calls to Nomad for ACL bootstrapping, outlining how Terraform's outputs can be shared between workspaces. The post concludes by previewing future installments in the series that will focus on deploying Vault as a Nomad job and implementing automation to streamline Vault's operations.
