/sys/plugins/runtimes/catalog

The /sys/plugins/runtimes/catalog manages plugin runtimes in your Vault catalog by reading, registering, updating, and removing plugin runtime information. Plugin runtimes must be registered before use, and once registered, backends can use the plugin runtime by referencing them when registering a plugin.

The list endpoint returns a list of the plugin runtimes in the catalog.

• sudo required – This endpoint requires sudo capability in addition to any path-specific capabilities.

Parameters

• type (string: <required>) – Specifies the plugin runtime type to list. Currently only accepts "container".

      ...
    ]
  }
}

• memory_bytes (int: <optional>) – Specifies memory limit to set per container in bytes. Defaults to no limit.

Sample payload

{
  "oci_runtime": "example-oci-runtime",

  "cpu_nanos": 1000,
  "memory_bytes": 10000000
}

Sample request

$ curl \
    --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
    --request POST \
