===========
Vault Aware
===========
The Vault Aware method involves writing an application to connect directly to
a Vault server using Vault REST APIs. The Vault REST APIs requires an
existing Auth method and policy to be created; the specific method depends on
the client libraries used.
The Vault REST API is used to allow an application to read and/or write secrets
to Vault, provided the applicable policy gives read and/or write permission at
the specified Vault path. The Vault REST API can be accessed from application
containers using the Vault endpoint **sva-vault**. Run the following command
to view Vault endpoints:
.. code-block:: none
$ kubectl get svc -n vault
