Kong Konnect: Introducing HashiCorp Vault Support for LLMs

In enterprise environments, securely managing LLM credentials is crucial, and one effective solution is to store these credentials in secure third-party systems like HashiCorp Vault or an IDP provider, allowing infrastructure to inject them dynamically. This approach prevents credential leaks, ensures strong governance, and provides the flexibility to switch credentials without redeploying agents. An AI gateway secures the communication between agents and LLMs, and the newly introduced feature in Kong Konnect AI Manager enables the configuration of dynamic authentication using third-party systems, enhancing the security and management of LLM credentials.
