HashiCorp has released Vault 1.21. This version introduces native SPIFFE authentication for non-human workloads, expands the granular secret recovery model introduced in Vault 1.20, and adds KV v2 secret attribution, MFA TOTP self-enrollment, a Vault Secrets Operator CSI driver that mounts secrets directly into pods without persisting them in etcd, and more.
