Nomad on AWS: Quick Start Guide

This is a guest post by Joel Thompson, Systems Engineer at Bridgewater Associates. Joel is a user of Vault at Bridgewater Associates and a contributor to the HashiCorp Vault project, specifically for the AWS IAM Authentication method discussed in this post.
HashiCorp released Vault 0.7.1 which ships with a major enhancement to the AWS-EC2 authentication backend, now renamed to the AWS authentication backend, making it easy for many different AWS resource types to securely authenticate with Vault and get a Vault token. Lambda functions, ECS jobs, EC2 instances, or any other client with access to AWS IAM credentials can use those credentials to securely authenticate to Vault to retrieve their secrets. I'm really excited about the feature, and I think it'll be a game changer for all the security-conscious AWS customers out there.
First, though, some introductions. Bridgewater Associates is focused on understanding how the world works. By having the deepest possible understanding of the global economy and financial markets, and translating that understanding into great portfolios and strategic partnerships with institutional clients, we've built a distinct track record of success. Today, we manage about $160 billion for approximately 350 of the largest and most sophisticated global institutional clients including public and corporate pension funds, university endowments, charitable foundations, supranational agencies, sovereign wealth funds, and central banks.
A few years ago, Bridgewater started moving to Amazon Web Service's cloud offering, and I was one of the first engineers involved with that effort. We loved many of the advantages offered by AWS, but there was one problem that had consistently caused us pain. How do we take advantage of the dynamic compute capabilities offered by a cloud provider without sacrificing security? Or, to put it concretely, how do we securely grant new instances in an AWS autoscaling group access to secrets they need?

Bridgewater: Securing their AWS Infrastructure with Vault

At HashiCorp, we make tools that automate the modern datacenter, so you can secure, provision, and run any application on any infrastructure. Today we are excited to announce the general availability of AWS Quick Start Guides for two of our popular open source tools: Consul and Vault.

Sponsored by Vocalocity, HashiCorp has developed a fully open-source, MIT licensed AWS provider plugin for Vagrant 1.1.

Using the same Vagrant workflow you've come to know and love, you will be able to launch and provision instances in EC2 or VPC, just as you would a VirtualBox machine today.

Paired with local virtualization, the AWS provider can vastly improve your end-to-end workflow, unlocking use cases for Vagrant which simply didn't exist before.

The provider will be released as open source at the same time as Vagrant 1.1, and works on Mac, Windows, and Linux. While no release date has been set, Vagrant 1.1 is targeted for later this month.
