   > @jfrazee Good questions. I'm using the term "Vault" as 
implementation-specific shorthand for HashiCorp Vault (similar to Spring, which 
calls their HashiCorp Vault service simply "Spring Vault"). I understand there 
are other similar technologies with similar names, like Azure Key Vault, so 
that could be a point of confusion. My thought here was to provide a HashiCorp 
Vault-specific integration point, which can be used in multiple places 
(Sensitive Properties Providers, Controller Services/Processors, and even 
ParameterContext providers in the future). 
   
   That makes sense; it's util code to be used in the future in implementations 
of existing interfaces.
   
   > What do you think about renaming all of these to HashiCorpVault* to help 
reduce the confusion?
   
   Unfortunately, I do think that'd be good, but I also realize it's a super 
annoying ask.
