Vault Conventions

Vault conventions are standardized naming and organizational rules used to manage secrets and sensitive data securely within Vault. They help teams consistently label, categorize, and locate secrets, making it easier to maintain, audit, and collaborate. For example, conventions might specify naming patterns for environment-specific secrets like "prod/db_password" or "dev/api_keys." By following these conventions, organizations ensure clarity, reduce errors, and improve security practices across their infrastructure. Essentially, Vault conventions serve as a uniform language, streamlining secret management processes.
