We are excited to introduce Namespaces to the OpenBao Secret Manager – a powerful feature designed to bring robust multi-tenancy and fine-grained isolation to your secrets management workflows.
Namespaces in OpenBao are logical partitions within a single OpenBao instance, functioning as isolated environments where teams, organizations, or applications can operate independently.
Namespaces enable secure multi-tenancy.
$ bao namespace scanKeys----tenants/tenants/tenant-c/tenants/tenant-c/prod/Create Resources within NamespacesSince the introduction of Namespaces, many OpenBao commands have become namespace-aware.
Looking ahead, the namespaces working group is actively exploring improvements such as namespace sealing, non-hierarchical namespaces, per-namespace storage backends, and plugin isolation.
