Welcome everyone to my talk on OpenBao and sustainable secrets management! I'm Michael "Hofi" Hofer, CTO at Adfinis and Chair of the OpenBao Technical Steering Committee (TSC).

It's fantastic to be back here in Zug for Open Source @ Siemens - for me personally, this event is always an annual highlight. Huge thanks to the Siemens crew for organizing such a great event! Every year it gets better, and this time we even have romantic ambient lighting to go with it. I'm already looking forward to next year.

Also, a quick shout-out to Jan and Pasquale for the overview on CIP earlier. It's really cool to see a neighboring Linux Foundation project in action.

Today I want to share how we can ensure secrets management remains open, community-driven, and sustainable for decades to come.

Welcome everyone to my talk on OpenBao and how we added horizontal scalability to the project. I'm Alex Scheel, Head of OpenBao Development at ControlPlane, a long time member of the OpenBao TSC, and chair of the OpenBao Development Working Group.

I've been fortunate to have a hand in the development of OpenBao since nearly the beginning of the project, and before that, at HashiCorp's Vault CryptoSec team.

If, like me, you were wishing you could get out for a post-lunch walk, thank you for staying, but we'll have to settle for some photos of Minneapolis I've sprinkled through the presentation. And thank you all for visiting Minnesota, whether from near or far!
