HashiCorp Certified: Vault Associate (002) — Question 12

What environment variable overrides the CLI’s default Vault server address?

Answer options

• A. VAULT_ADDR
• B. VAULT_HTTP_ADDRESS
• C. VAULT_ADDRESS
• D. VAULT_HTTPS_ADDRESS

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, VAULT_ADDR, as it is specifically designed to override the default server address used by the CLI. The other options do not serve this purpose: VAULT_HTTP_ADDRESS and VAULT_HTTPS_ADDRESS are not standard environment variables, and VAULT_ADDRESS does not exist in the context of overriding the default address.
