Deep dive into Vault policies

Policies are at the core of granting or denying access to Vault operations for a machine or human identity. I will explain the concept of polices and how it is tied to Authentication and Tokens in Vault. I will go through the rules to build a policy in Vault. We will learn some advanced features like fine-grained policies. Finally I will show some workflows and patterns to use Policies together with Identities for efficient Vault security governance.
