Azure App Configuration vs. Azure Key Vault

Short summary

Azure Key Vault securely stores secrets, API keys, and certificates with hardware security module support and granular access policies; Azure App Configuration manages non-sensitive configuration like feature flags and environment settings with dynamic refresh. Real-world applications combine both: App Configuration holds general settings while referencing Key Vault for secrets, providing centralized configuration management with proper security boundaries.
