vault: Read a value from the vault, using the generic back-end called "secret".
$ vault read secret/${hello}
try on your machine

The command "vault read secret/${hello}" is a command that interacts with the Vault server.

Here is an explanation of each component of the command:

  • "vault": This is the main command used to interact with the Vault server. It is typically used to retrieve, store, and manage secrets.
  • "read": This is a sub-command of the "vault" command used to read data from the Vault server.
  • "secret/${hello}": This is the path to the secret you want to read from the Vault server. In this case, the secret path is "secret/${hello}". The "${hello}" is likely a variable that holds a value, and it is used to dynamically construct the secret path. The actual value of "hello" will determine the specific secret path being read.

In summary, the command "vault read secret/${hello}" is used to read the secret stored at the path specified by the value of the "hello" variable in the Vault server.
