       | For those of us for the removed can someone explain the
       | difference between Vault Secrets and Vault Dedicated? (very
       | naively I would have thought that Vault itself os specifically
       | about secrets so I must be missing the nuance)

         | HCP Vault Secrets aka Easy Vault aka Vault Lite is only for
         | secrets. It's also Cloud hosted.
         | 
         | Vault Community is more full featured. Vault Enterprise has HSM
         | support (for auto unseal and seal wrapping) and FIPS 140-2 for
         | those type of customers.
         | 
         | We use Vault Enterprise on prem solely for its particular HSM
         | integration.

         | I haven't tried it out, but it looks they recently added
         | PKCS#11 which should make it possible to use it with devices
         | like HSMs and cloud KMS solutions.
