Create and Edit Secrets

Secret values can either be saved as text or as files containing keys.

• Text values: Group vault entries for a common service under a common path, and enter the path as a string value.

  For example, dockerhub/username and dockerhub/password.

• Files: Upload a key file, such as a PEM file.
