The "operator rotate" rotates the underlying encryption key which is used to
|
|
secure data written to the storage backend. This installs a new key in the key
|
|
ring. This new key is used to encrypted new data, while older keys in the ring
|
|
are used to decrypt older data.

# operator rotate
|
|
|
|
The `operator rotate` rotates the underlying encryption key which is used to
|
|
secure data written to the storage backend. This installs a new key in the key
|
|
ring. This new key is used to encrypted new data, while older keys in the ring
|
|
are used to decrypt older data.
|
|
|
|
This is an online operation and does not cause downtime. This command is run
|
|
per-cluster (not per-server), since Vault servers in HA mode share the same
|
|
storage backend.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|

|
Rotate Vault's encryption key:
|
