What data does shared storage hold in a Cluster Vault system?

In a Cluster Vault system, shared storage primarily holds metadata and data. Metadata is essential as it contains information about the stored data, such as the structure, access, and lifecycle of the data within the Vault. This allows the system to manage and retrieve secrets effectively. The actual data refers to the secure items stored within the Vault, which can include passwords, sensitive configuration details, and other critical information that needs to be protected and managed securely.

This approach enables multiple nodes in the Cluster Vault system to access a consistent and synchronized state of the stored secrets and information, ensuring high availability and reliability across the cluster. By having centralized shared storage for metadata and data, the system can efficiently manage distributed instances, facilitating data integrity and usability in a multi-node environment.
