Problem

The Production Hardening document indicates how to harden Vault for production purposes, but what if Vault is run on for example Digital Ocean and the platform is unavailable or the disk gets corrupted?

Solution

According to this documentation two vault servers have to be run. One of them has to be active and the other passive. In order to run such a setup both vault servers need to be unsealed.
