Vault Sync

💭 I always wonder—how do cloud saves in games relate to DevOps? 🤔

Ever played Rainbow Six Siege or any game with cloud saves? 🎮 Your progress is stored both locally (C:/Users/User/Documents/R6S/SaveGame) and in the cloud ☁️ (Ubisoft/Steam).

💾 What happens when you switch PCs or reinstall?

✔️ If your local save is newer, it uploads to the cloud.

✔️ If the cloud save is newer, it downloads to your PC.

⚠️ Conflict? You get a prompt: "Which save do you want to keep?"

🔁 Now, imagine this for HashiCorp Vault!

✅ Local storage: /home/vault/data (Vault secrets)

✅ Cloud storage: AWS EBS volume (Persistent backup)

✅ Sync Mechanism: Rsync/NFS keeps both in sync 🔄

✅ New EC2 instance? It pulls the latest Vault data, just like a fresh game install pulling cloud saves!

⚡ Gaming & DevOps aren’t that different—both rely on seamless data synchronization. What other gaming concepts inspire your cloud strategies? 🚀
