How we’ll simplify Vault access for GitLab CI/CD users

This post details an MVC approach to integrate HashiCorp Vault with GitLab CI/CD. The proposed solution involves instructing GitLab Runner, via Rails, to fetch secrets from Vault.

The approach prioritizes a simpler runner-based solution over a more complex Rails integration with Vault.
