Testimonials
Nguyen is a champ. He's fast and has great communication. Well done!
Thanks to MeteorOps, infrastructure changes have been completed without any errors. They provide excellent ideas, manage tasks efficiently, and deliver on time. They communicate through virtual meetings, email, and a messaging app. Overall, their experience in Kubernetes and AWS is impressive.
I was impressed at how quickly they were able to handle new tasks at a high quality and value.
They have been great at adjusting and improving as we have worked together.
We were impressed with their commitment to the project.
Working with MeteorOps was exactly the solution we looked for. We met a professional, involved, problem solving DevOps team, that gave us an impact in a short term period.
Good consultants execute on task and deliver as planned. Better consultants overdeliver on their tasks. Great consultants become full technology partners and provide expertise beyond their scope.
I am happy to call MeteorOps my technology partners as they overdelivered, provide high-level expertise and I recommend their services as a very happy customer.
We got to meet Michael from MeteorOps through one of our employees. We needed DevOps help and guidance and Michael and the team provided all of it from the very beginning. They did everything from dev support to infrastructure design and configuration to helping during Production incidents like any one of our own employees. They actually became an integral part of our organization which says a lot about their personal attitude and dedication.
They are very knowledgeable in their area of expertise.
I was impressed with the amount of professionalism, communication, and speed of delivery.
You guys are really a bunch of talented geniuses and it's a pleasure and a privilege to work with you.
From my experience, working with MeteorOps brings high value to any company at almost any stage. They are uncompromising professionals, who achieve their goal no matter what.

How it works?
Vault is a secrets management and data protection platform created by HashiCorp, designed to securely store, access, and control sensitive data such as API keys, passwords, certificates, and encryption keys across applications and infrastructure. It centralizes secret distribution through fine-grained access policies and strong authentication, supports encryption-as-a-service via its Transit engine, and can issue dynamic, short-lived credentials for systems like databases and cloud providers to reduce long-term credential exposure. Vault also provides auditing, leasing and renewal of secrets, and multiple storage backends and high-availability configurations for resilient operations, with common deployment patterns including running Vault on Kubernetes for automated scaling and integration with modern platform workflows.
Secrets management is the practice of securely storing, managing, and using sensitive information, such as passwords, API keys, and certificates. This is important because sensitive information is often required for accessing critical systems and services, and if it is not properly protected, it can be vulnerable to being stolen or misused.
There are several reasons why secrets management is crucial:
- Secrets management provides secure and auditable storage for sensitive information, reducing risk of misuse and unauthorized access
- Secrets management helps with compliance regulations
- It makes it convenient for users to access sensitive information
- It is scalable and flexible to accommodate growing organizations
Vault is a secrets management and encryption platform used to protect sensitive values like API keys, database credentials, tokens, and certificates. It is typically adopted to reduce secret sprawl, enforce consistent access policies, and enable short-lived credentials across cloud and Kubernetes environments.
- Centralized secret distribution reduces plaintext secrets in source control, container images, CI logs, and configuration files.
- Dynamic secrets issue short-lived database and cloud credentials on demand, with automatic revocation to limit exposure.
- Policy-driven access control enables least-privilege authorization that is consistent across teams, apps, and environments.
- Multiple authentication options support integration with existing identity systems, including Kubernetes auth, OIDC, LDAP, and cloud IAM.
- Transit encryption provides encryption as a service so applications can encrypt and decrypt data without storing keys locally.
- Leases, renewals, and TTLs enforce time-bound access and reduce blast radius when credentials are leaked.
- Audit logging records secret access and administrative actions to support compliance evidence and incident investigations.
- PKI secret engine automates certificate issuance and rotation, reducing manual certificate lifecycle work.
- High availability and replication features support resilient operation for critical workloads and multi-region deployments.
- Pluggable secret engines and integrations make it practical to standardize secret workflows across heterogeneous stacks.
Vault is a strong fit for platforms that need centralized governance and dynamic credentials across multiple runtimes. It does add operational considerations such as unseal and key management, storage backend selection, and HA design, so it benefits from automation and well-tested runbooks.
Common alternatives include AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, Google Secret Manager, and CyberArk Conjur. For product details, see the official HashiCorp Vault documentation.
Our experience with Vault has helped us build practical knowledge, repeatable runbooks, and automation that make it easier for clients to adopt best practices and operate Vault safely at scale.
Some of the things we did include:
- Designed and deployed highly available Vault clusters with integrated storage (Raft) and documented DR/restore procedures
- Performed zero-downtime migrations between Vault clusters and environments, including token/auth method cutovers
- Upgraded Vault versions safely, validating plugins, policies, and auth methods in staged rollouts
- Deployed and operated Vault on Kubernetes, including auto-unseal patterns and operational hardening
- Standardized secrets engines, mounts, groups, and policies to reduce coupling and improve the developer lifecycle
- Implemented routine backups, snapshot automation, and periodic recovery drills to validate RPO/RTO expectations
- Integrated Vault into CI/CD workflows and Infrastructure-as-Code pipelines using Terraform and Pulumi
- Enabled dynamic secrets and short-lived credentials for applications and platforms to reduce secret sprawl
- Centralized audit logging and operational observability (metrics, logs, alerts) to improve incident response and compliance readiness
- Supported application onboarding with templating/agent patterns and training for developers and platform teams
Having implemented and operated Vault across multiple environments and use-cases, we’ve accumulated the hands-on experience needed to deliver reliable Vault setups, reduce operational risk, and keep secret management simple and maintainable for our clients.
Some of the things we can help you do with Vault include:
- Run a Vault assessment and deliver a prioritized findings report covering architecture, auth methods, policies, and operational risk.
- Create an adoption roadmap for standardizing secrets management across teams, environments, and workloads with clear milestones and ownership.
- Design and implement highly available Vault deployments, including storage backends, clustering, and upgrade strategies for reliability.
- Automate Vault provisioning and configuration using Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD to make environments reproducible and auditable.
- Implement security guardrails: least-privilege policies, namespaces, token lifecycles, dynamic secrets, and encryption practices aligned to compliance needs.
- Integrate Vault with Kubernetes and GitOps workflows to securely inject secrets into applications without hardcoding or leaking in pipelines.
- Stabilize and troubleshoot production Vault issues, including performance bottlenecks, auth failures, seal/unseal problems, and operational runbooks.
- Optimize cost and performance by tuning secret engines, TTLs, caching patterns, and operational processes to reduce load and toil.
- Improve observability with actionable metrics, logs, and alerts so teams can detect misconfigurations and incidents early.
- Enable your teams with hands-on training, best-practice playbooks, and knowledge transfer for day-2 operations and secure usage.
