We have an application connecting to the database. So we have implemented an authentication in place wherein without that particular secret value, it won't be authenticated. So that is a use case that I can tell you about Azure Key. We have implemented it for some small identity providers as well.

Cloud Architect at a marketing services firm with 11-50 employees
I have used the solution on a couple of projects for a client, mainly for storing credentials and secrets, such as API keys and application or username passwords into the vault, as well as certificates.
It is used for anything we need to keep safe and secure and not have users access, except via applications that programmatically access Key Vault and retrieve the secrets and connect to other APIs. That way, we don't supply usernames and passwords within application code or to people. We vault them in Key Vault and those secrets can be used within an application without human intervention.
Azure Key Vault is a SaaS solution.

We integrate Azure Key Vault to Azure DevOps for configuration automation. It allows selected access to the client IDs. Centralizing these keys ensures developers don't have direct access to sensitive information. Instead, the platform management team or developers can securely retrieve these keys during the pipeline execution.

Currently, we're looking at how we're going to use it in our dev environment. We actually have another product that we're using. We're going to test out those keys for maintaining our secrets, however, we first have them in our dev and test environment before we roll it out, as another protection area.

We use it for storing secrets for different accounts. If a service account or a storage account or a resource needs access to a resource, and there's a password involved, you would book out a password, and access Key Vault to gain access to the password, and get access to the resource.
The product integrates well with Azure Active Directory to manage identity or secret certificates.
