HashiCorp Certified - Vault Associate Course - Vault Entities

The video tutorial explains Vault entities and aliases, focusing on how Vault creates entities when users log in using different authentication methods. It uses the example of a user, Julie Smith, to illustrate how multiple authentication methods can lead to multiple entities and how these can be consolidated into a single entity for efficient management. The tutorial also covers the practical application of these concepts in the Vault UI.
