Production blueprint

This document outlines recommendations for operating Vault in a production environment.

Infrastructure

Please follow the Vault project reference to deploy the Vault charms on hosts of appropriate size for your deployment.

High Availability

Vault should be deployed with a total of 5 units.

Observability

Vault should be integrated with Canonical Observability Stack:

  • Vault should be integrated with Grafana Agent using the cos-agent charm relation interface.
  • Grafana Agent should be integrated with COS using the loki_push_api, prometheus_remote_write, and grafana_dashboard charm relation interfaces.

Backup and Restore

Vault should be integrated with an S3 provider to conduct regular backup operations.
