Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth
Batch tokens are lightweight alternatives to service tokens, with trade-offs. Let’s analyze:
A: Designed for short-lived, high-performance tasks. Correct.
B: Cannot be root tokens; root status is service-token-specific. Incorrect.
C: Orphan batch tokens work in replication. Correct.
D: No accessors; unique to service tokens. Incorrect.
E: Minimal overhead makes them scalable. Correct.
F: No disk storage reduces cost. Correct.
Overall Explanation from Vault Docs:
“Batch tokens are encrypted blobs… lightweight, scalable, no storage cost, ideal for ephemeral
