OpenBAO Migration · Secrets management
Escape HashiCorp Vault Enterprise's per-token licensing and BSL vendor lock-in. Migrate to OpenBAO with DuoKey SD-HSM MPC auto-unseal and DuoKey Managed OpenBAO Service: same API, zero code changes and up to 60-80% lower TCO (estimate; depends on tokens, support and HSM estate).
The problem
At ~500 EUR per client token per year, organisations with 200+ tokens face 100,000+ EUR annually in Vault Enterprise licensing alone. BSL 1.1 lock-in, 10-15% annual price increases and expensive HSM auto-unseal compound into a double cost spiral.
How DuoKey helps
OpenBAO provides 100% Vault API-compatible secrets management at zero licensing cost. DuoKey SD-HSM delivers MPC-based auto-unseal and seal wrap without physical HSM hardware. DuoKey Managed OpenBAO Service covers 24/7 operations so teams can reach up to 60-80% lower TCO without changing application code, quantified per estate in a free migration assessment.
