Technical requirements

In this chapter, we do a deeper dive with builders. You will need an account with each cloud provider if you wish to test any of the related cloud examples. We also introduce some optional integration with the HashiCorp Vault product. If you wish to learn more about Vault, please check the Vault documentation pages: https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs.

Vault is not a requirement but its integration increases the security of your Package usage and the features demonstrated are available in both the free/open source and Enterprise editions.
