The key/value (kv) secrets engine stores and versions arbitrary static secrets stored in Vault physical storage.

The kv v2 plugin uses soft deletes to make data inaccessible while allowing data recovery. When an entry is permanently deleted, Vault purges the underlying version data and marks the key metadata as destroyed.
