Vault provides a flexible abstraction of resources and providers. This model allows for representing everything from physical hardware, virtual machines, and containers, to email and DNS providers. Because of this flexibility, Vault can be used to solve many different problems. This means there are a number of existing tools that overlap with the capabilities of Vault. We compare Vault to a number of these tools, but it should be noted that Vault is not mutually exclusive with other systems. It can be used to manage a single application, or the entire datacenter.

# Vault vs. Other Software

Vault provides a flexible abstraction of resources and providers. This model
|
|
allows for representing everything from physical hardware, virtual machines, and
|
|
containers, to email and DNS providers. Because of this flexibility, Vault
|
|
can be used to solve many different problems. This means there are a number of
|
|
existing tools that overlap with the capabilities of Vault. We compare Vault
|
|
to a number of these tools, but it should be noted that Vault is not mutually
|
|
exclusive with other systems. It can be used to manage a single application, or the
|
|
entire datacenter.
