Secrets engines are Vault’s core components for managing data. The Vault documentation states:
"Secrets engines are components that store, generate, or encrypt data. Secrets engines are incredibly flexible, so it is easiest to think about them in terms of their function. Secrets engines are provided some set of data, they take some action on that data, and they return a result."
"The secrets engine is a core component of Vault that is responsible for storing, generating, and encrypting data for organizations."
