Types of Vault Integrations

+## Types of Vault Integrations

By leveraging Vault's plugin system, vendors are able to build extensible secrets, authentication, and audit plugins to extend Vault's functionality. These integrations can be done with the OSS (open-source) version of Vault.

    HashiCorp will review and certify your Vault integration. Please send the Vault logs and other relevant logs for verification at: vault-integration-dev@hashicorp.com. For Auth, Secret and Storage plugins, submit a GitHub pull request (PR) against the Vault project (https://github.com/hashicorp/vault). Where applicable, the vendor will need to provide HashiCorp with a test account.

    Many vendors view the release step to be the end of the journey, while at HashiCorp we view it to be the start. Getting the Vault integration built is just the first step in enabling users. Once this is done, on-going effort is required to maintain the integration and address any issues in a timely manner. The expectation for vendors is to respond to all critical issues within 48 hours and all other issues within 5 business days. HashiCorp Vault has an extremely wide community of users and we encourage everyone to report issues however small, as well as help resolve them when possible.
