»Configuring Vault Helm with Terraform

Terraform may also be used to configure and deploy the Vault Helm chart, by using the Helm provider.

For example, to configure the chart to deploy HA Vault with integrated storage (raft), the values overrides can be set on the command-line, in a values yaml file, or with a Terraform configuration:

Bash
$ helm install vault hashicorp/vault \
  --set='server.ha.enabled=true' \
  --set='server.ha.raft.enabled=true'

$ helm install vault hashicorp/vault \
  --set='server.ha.enabled=true' \
  --set='server.ha.raft.enabled=true'

server:
  ha:
    enabled: true
    raft:
      enabled: true

server:
  ha:
    enabled: true
    raft:
      enabled: true

provider "helm" {
  kubernetes {
    config_path = "~/.kube/config"
  }
}

resource "helm_release" "vault" {
  name       = "vault"
  repository = "https://helm.releases.hashicorp.com"
  chart      = "vault"

  set {
    name  = "server.ha.enabled"
    value = "true"
  }
  set {
    name  = "server.ha.raft.enabled"
    value = "true"
  }
}

provider "helm" {
  kubernetes {
    config_path = "~/.kube/config"
  }
}

resource "helm_release" "vault" {
  name       = "vault"
  repository = "https://helm.releases.hashicorp.com"
  chart      = "vault"

  set {
    name  = "server.ha.enabled"
    value = "true"
  }
  set {
    name  = "server.ha.raft.enabled"
    value = "true"
  }
}

The values file can also be used directly in the Terraform configuration with the values directive.

Annotations can be set as a YAML map:
