VA-003 Manage Vault leases Practice Question
Exhibit
Refer to the exhibit. ``` $ vault lease lookup database/creds/readonly/abc123 Key Value --- ----- id database/creds/readonly/abc123 issue_time 2023-10-05T14:30:00Z renewable true ttl 30m max_ttl 1h ```
Based on the exhibit, what is the maximum total lifespan of this lease?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common trap is misreading the lease duration unit: Vault displays lease durations in seconds, but candidates may mistakenly interpret them as minutes. In this question, 3600 seconds equals 1 hour, not 90 minutes or 2 hours.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
1 hour
The lease duration for a Vault lease is specified in seconds, and the exhibit shows a lease duration of 3600 seconds. Converting 3600 seconds to hours gives exactly 1 hour (3600 / 3600 = 1). This represents the maximum total lifespan of the lease before it expires or must be renewed.
