# Vault Agent Auto-Auth AliCloud Method
|
|
|
|
The `alicloud` method performs authentication against the [AliCloud Auth
|
|
method](/docs/auth/alicloud).
|
|
|
|
## Credentials
|
|
|
|
The Vault agent will use the first credential it can successfully obtain in the following order:
|
|
|
|
1. [Environment variables](https://github.com/aliyun/alibaba-cloud-sdk-go/blob/master/sdk/auth/credentials/providers/env.go)
|
|
2. A static credential configuration
|
|
3. Instance metadata (recommended)
|
|
|
|
Wherever possible, we recommend using instance metadata for credentials. These rotate every hour
|
|
and require no effort on your part to provision, making instance metadata the most secure of the three methods. If
|
|
using instance metadata _and_ a custom `credential_poll_interval`, be sure the frequency is set for
|
|
less than an hour, because instance metadata credentials expire every hour.
|
|
|
|
Environment variables are given first precedence to provide the ability to quickly override your
|
|
configuration.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
