Running HashiCorp Vault on Azure Container Instances

One of the many ways to run HashiCorp Vault is within containers. Typically you would do this with Kubernetes or ECS, but what if you were looking for a way to run Vault with a public endpoint for the lowest cost possible? Why not use containers on demand? Specifically, using Azure Container Instances.

Today's check-in includes a lightning talk I did during HashiConf Digital 2020 outlining exactly how you could go about run Vault on ACI, using Azure Key Vault for auto-unseal and Azure Files for state storage. You can find the deployment files on my GitHub: https://github.com/ned1313/Vault-on-ACI
