How do batch tokens improve Vault's scalability?

They reduce CPU usage by using weaker encryption.

They reduce storage overhead because they are not stored in Vault.

They allow Vault to handle more tokens by storing them in memory.

They increase network overhead by requiring more round trips.

A Vault cluster is experiencing high network traffic because every service token request requires a storage lookup. The team wants to reduce network overhead for a new set of short-lived tokens. What should they do?

Use batch tokens, which are validated locally without a storage lookup.

Use service tokens with a longer TTL to reduce the number of lookups.

Increase the number of Vault nodes to handle the lookup load.

Use a load balancer to distribute token requests.

Which use case aligns with the strengths of batch tokens?

A microservice that fetches a configuration secret at startup and uses it for a short time.

A mobile application that needs to authenticate users and maintain sessions.

A security team that needs to revoke access immediately in case of a breach.

A batch job that needs to run for several hours and requires a renewable token.

Which operation is NOT supported by batch tokens?

Reading a static secret from a KV v2 mount.

Creating a dynamic secret from a database secrets engine.

Authenticating to Vault using the token auth method.

Reading a secret with a short TTL.

Which characteristic is unique to batch tokens compared to normal service tokens?

They are not stored in Vault's storage backend and are self-contained.

They are stored in Vault's storage backend and can be listed via the token list endpoint.

They are always renewable and have no TTL.

They can be revoked individually by an administrator.
