" summary

Adobe describes rolling Vault into a three-region, production-ready service on AWS after consolidating 27 to 3 clusters, moving to integrated storage, and shifting some nodes to ARM for ~22% compute savings. Onboarding time for developers drops from 46 hours to sub-30 minutes through focused automation and a planned Vault easy button, audit evidence collection shrinks from weeks to about two days, and Vault handles ~2–3 billion HashiCorp-related transactions per month.
