Yandex Lockbox overview

Yandex Lockbox is a service for the centralized storage of secrets, such as passwords, SSH keys, and tokens. A secret is a set of versions that store your data. A version contains one or more key-value pairs. A key is a non-secret ID that identifies a value. The value is your secret data.

Yandex Lockbox allows users to manage a secret's lifecycle by creating, updating, and deleting secrets in a centralized manner and take advantage of all the access control features that Yandex Identity and Access Management provides.
