Azure Key Vault Plugin – Create Action
Summary (SEO Meta Description):
The Create Action of the Azure Key Vault Plugin securely creates a new Secret, Key, or Certificate inside Azure Key Vault.
Use it to automate provisioning of credentials, cryptographic keys, or TLS certificates directly from your WeHub workflows.
