Key Vault
Azure Key Vault acts as a centralized repository for managing sensitive data like passwords, cryptographic keys, and secrets. It handles the storage and retrieval of these items while enforcing compliance controls across global deployments, ensuring that application credentials remain isolated from code and infrastructure logs.
This service suits teams needing strict access governance for cloud applications, but it lacks a free tier entirely. Costs begin at $0.1500 per 10K operations on a pay-as-you-go basis, meaning even minimal testing or development environments incur immediate charges without any no-cost entry point for experimentation.
