We use Terraform to manage as much of the configuration of Vault (and Consul and Nomad) as we can. The provider is pretty good.

This makes it a lot easier to get a 1000ft view of the configuration.

This is ultimately my goal. Our current state has been prototyped iteratively over a year or so. The goal is to replicate and document the current state so that we can automate it such as with Terraform.

Unfortunately, unlike, say Kubernetes, which encourages a declarative approach, learning to integrate and use Vault comes with a lot of imperative operations, none of which is stored anywhere for reuse.
