Raft Storage Backend
!> NOTE: Vault's Integrated Storage is currently a Technology Preview feature and not suitable for deployment in production.
The Raft storage backend is used to persist Vault's data. Unlike other storage backends, Raft storage does not operate from a single source of data. Instead all the nodes in a Vault cluster will have a replicated copy of Vault's data. Data gets replicated across the all the nodes via the Raft Consensus Algorithm.
-
High Availability – the Raft storage backend supports high availability.
-
HashiCorp Supported – the Raft storage backend is officially supported by HashiCorp.
storage "raft" {
path = "/path/to/raft/data"
node_id = "raft_node_1"
}
cluster_addr = "http://127.0.0.1:8201"
Note: When using the Raft storage backend, it is required to provide cluster_addr to indicate the address and port to be used for communication between the nodes in the Raft cluster.
raft Parameters
-
path(string: "")– The file system path where all the Vault data gets stored. -
node_id(string: "")- The identifier for the node in the Raft cluster.
