// A KVSecret is a key-value secret returned by Vault's KV secrets engine,
// and is the most basic type of secret stored in Vault.
//
// Data contains the key-value pairs of the secret itself,
// while Metadata contains a subset of metadata describing
// this particular version of the secret.
// The Metadata field for a KV v1 secret will always be nil, as
// metadata is only supported starting in KV v2.
//
// The Raw field can be inspected for information about the lease,
// and passed to a LifetimeWatcher object for periodic renewal.

// by default when a server is started in -dev mode. See the kvv2 struct.
