A company runs Vault Enterprise in two regions. They want to reduce latency for read-heavy workloads by allowing each region's application tier to read secrets locally. They also need a single authoritative source for writes and must be able to fail over to the other region if the primary becomes unavailable. Which replication setup should they implement?

Use Vault's built-in load balancing to distribute read requests across both clusters without replication.

Enable disaster recovery replication with the primary in one region and the secondary in the other region.

Enable performance replication with the primary in one region and the secondary in the other region.

Enable both performance and disaster recovery replication on the same primary and secondary clusters.

What is the recommended approach to verify that a patch applied to the primary has propagated to a secondary?

Generate a new activation token on the primary

Restart the secondary cluster to force a resync

Promote the secondary to primary to check the data

Check the replication status on the secondary and confirm the lag is zero

Which Vault CLI command enables performance replication on a primary cluster?

vault replication enable -mode=performance primary

vault operator replication primary -mode=performance

vault replication primary enable -mode=performance

vault operator replication enable -mode=performance

Which Vault CLI command promotes a performance replication secondary to primary?

vault operator replication promote -mode=performance

vault operator replication primary -mode=performance

vault operator replication enable -mode=performance

vault replication promote -mode=performance

How does performance replication differ from disaster recovery replication in Vault Enterprise?

Performance replication replicates all data including tokens and secrets, while DR replication only replicates policies

Performance replication requires a primary and secondary in the same region, while DR replication requires different regions

Performance replication is only for secrets engines, while DR replication is only for auth methods

Performance replication scales read operations, while disaster recovery replication provides a mechanism for failover and data recovery
