# Sample vault file

A vault file is used to protect any sensitive variables that should not appear in clear text in your group_vars/all/vars.yml file. The vault file will be encrypted and will require a password to be entered before it can be read or updated.

A sample vault file is provided named group_vars/all/vault.sample that you can use as a model for your own vault file. To create a vault, you create a new file called group_vars/all/vault.yml and add entries similar to:

---
vault_vcenter_password: 'PasswordForYourVcenter'
vault_rancher_password: 'PasswordForRancher'
vault_ad_service_account_password: 'PasswordForActiveDirectoryServiceAccount'
