On behalf of the community, I'd like to announce the availability of the Spring Vault 2.1 release candidate. Spring Vault 2.1 requires JDK 8 or higher and specifically supports JDK 11 as the next long-term support release. This release ships with 15 tickets fixed along with some refinements for Java 9 to 11. The most notable changes are:

• Support for Azure authentication with managed service instances on VMs.
• GCP IAM authentication support on behalf of service accounts.

This release is compatible with Vault versions from 0.5.2 up to 0.11.1.

Next Steps
