Managing Secret Version Statuses

This section describes how to add, change, and delete secret version statuses.

Secret values are encrypted and stored in secret versions. A version can have multiple statuses. Versions without any statuses are regarded as deprecated and can be automatically deleted by CSMS.

Constraints

The initial version is marked by the SYSCURRENT status tag.
You can mark a version with a tag created in the service or a custom tag. A version can have multiple status tags, but a status tag can be used for only one version. For example, if you add the status tag used by version A to version B, the tag will be moved from version A to version B.
A secret can have up to 12 version statuses. A status can be used for only one version.
SYSCURRENT and SYSPREVIOUS are preconfigured statuses and cannot be deleted.
