There was a problem hiding this comment.
Pasting the docs here too: https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/concepts/seal#auto-unseal
There are certain operations in Vault besides unsealing that require a quorum of users to perform, e.g. generating a root token. When using a Shamir seal the unseal keys must be provided to authorize these operations. When using Auto Unseal these operations require recovery keys instead.
Just as the initialization process with a Shamir seal yields unseal keys, initializing with an Auto Unseal yields recovery keys.
Take all the backups before we merge!
