Announcing the OpenBao Blog!

· 2 min read

We asked one of our Gen Z community members to describe OpenBao recently. They wrote the following:

See the three bao representing different auth and secret engines or nodes in a cluster? Very cutesy.

See how secrets can be dynamically rotated? Very considerate.

See our project running under open governance and with OSI licenses? Very mindful.

See us promise API compatibility with drop-in compatibility for Raft users? Very respectful.

See all of the nicely packaged release binaries ready for installation? Very demure.


Not all trends are worth jumping on.

While attackers have only gotten more sophisticated, the importance of central inventory, observability, and facilitating organization-wide rotation of secrets can make the difference in a proactive security posture. More than that, being confident that your solution won't disappear over night because of a license change ensures long-term peace of mind and stability.

That's why OpenBao was launched with open governance under the Linux Foundation's LF Edge.

Join the community and its leadership today.

Welcome to the start of our blog series.

At the end of every blog post, we'll post a way you can get involved based on the topics discussed.

Interested in writing a blog post with us? Feel free to reach out, we'd love to see what you have in mind!

If you're looking for ideas, consider talking about your experience as an operator of OpenBao and deploying it, or as a developer or architect integrating and designing against it. Or maybe consider writing about an existing or upcoming feature you're excited about.
