|
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 encrypt new data, while older keys in the ring
|
|
are used to decrypt older data.

# operator rotate
|
|
|
|
The `operator rotate` command rotates the underlying encryption key, which
|
|
secures data written to storage. This installs a new key in the key ring.
|
|
This new key encrypts new data, while older keys in the ring decrypt
|
|
older data.
|
|
|
|
This is an online operation and does not cause downtime. This command runs
|
|
per-cluster (not per-server), since Vault servers in HA mode share the same
|
|
storage.
|
|
|
|
As of **Vault 1.7**, Vault will automatically rotate the encryption key before
|
|
reaching 2<sup>32</sup> encryption operations, in adherence with NIST SP800-32D
|
|
guidelines.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
Rotate Vault's encryption key:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ vault operator rotate
|
|
Key Term 3
|
|
Install Time 01 May 17 10:30 UTC
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
View the current automatic rotation policy:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ vault read sys/rotate/config
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configure a time interval for automatic key rotation:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ vault write sys/rotate/config interval=2160h
|
|
Success! Data written to: sys/rotate/config
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configure the maximum number of encryption operations per key:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ vault write sys/rotate/config max_operations=123456789
|
|
Success! Data written to: sys/rotate/config
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
The following flags are available in addition to the [standard set of
|
|
flags](/vault/docs/commands) included on all commands.

### Output options
|
|
|
|
- `-format` `(string: "table")` - Print the output in the given format. Valid
