# Providers
|
|
|
|
Vault is used to create, manage, and manipulate infrastructure resources.
|
|
Examples of resources include physical machines, VMs, network switches, containers,
|
|
etc. Almost any infrastructure noun can be represented as a resource in Vault.
|
|
|
|
Vault is agnostic to the underlying platforms by supporting providers. A provider
|
|
is responsible for understanding API interactions and exposing resources. Providers
|
|
generally are an IaaS (e.g. AWS, DigitalOcean, GCE), PaaS (e.g. Heroku, CloudFoundry),
|
|
or SaaS services (e.g. Atlas, DNSimple, CloudFlare).
