Unclear which differences apply to which vault

[MikeTheCanuck]

I'm evaluating the use of these two vaults for use by an infrastructure team in an open source project.

It's unclear to me which difference/advantage applies to which vault in the section "What's the difference between ansible-vault and hashi_vault", and this is valuable information for an evaluation like mine.

Here are my guesses - if you can confirm, I'll submit a PR to clarify the README:

• (Ansible Vault) No external dependencies. (hashi_vault) requires hvac
• (Hashi Vault) Uses the same environment variables as vault itself
• (Hashi Vault) Quicker update cycle [because it doesn't depend on core Ansible release cycle]
• (Hashi Vault) Supports dynamic secrets
• (Hashi Vault) Supports custom fields

Thanks!

Hi Mike.

All of them apply to ansible-vault. Things that the hashi_vault module does not support when I compared them earlier.

So to make things clear

(Ansible Vault) No external dependencies. (hashi_vault) requires hvac (Ansible Vault) Uses the same environment variables as vault itself (Ansible Vault) Quicker update cycle [because it doesn't depend on core Ansible release cycle](Ansible Vault) Supports dynamic secrets (Ansible Vault) Supports custom fields
