Secret versioning

Versioning allows you to store multiple versions of a secret for secret rotation without interrupting your service operations.

If a secret has versions, one of them is current—it appears in the list of versions with the Active tag. You can set a version as current from the list of versions or when adding a new version.

You cannot delete a secret version; you can only delete the secret with all of its versions.
