Vault 1.3: Active Directory, Entropy Augmentation, and KMIP

We recently announced the public availability of HashiCorp Vault 1.3. Vault 1.3 included the following features:

• Active Directory Check In/Check Out: Allow Vault to manage check in/check out rotation for Active Directory credentials.
• Entropy Augmentation (Vault Enterprise only): Allow Vault Enterprise to sample entropy from external cryptographic modules.
• Improved KMIP Support: Supports KMIP operations for registering externally-derived keys.
• Vault Debug: A new CLI command to gather health metrics of Vault nodes.
• Kubernetes Sidecar: Inject application pods with Vault tokens via a mutating webhook service.
• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Support: New auth methods, storage backends, and auto-unseal interfaces for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

In this webinar, Vault Engineers will introduce and demo the first three features on this list: Active Directory check in/out, Entropy Augmentation, and KMIP enhancements.
