How to Migrate a Cloud Application That Uses a Centralized Secrets Vault

An application may retrieve credentials from a centralized vault using workload identity, network policy, or a local agent. Migration can break access even when the vault and application are unchanged.

What to check

Map secret references, authentication method, policies, network paths, agent requirements, and rotation behavior. Test access from the target runtime with its actual workload identity.

Recommended next step

Configure least-privilege vault access before cutover and validate secret refresh without logging values. Keep rotation and emergency revocation procedures available during migration.
