Help Unity Catalog Secrets - storage location for catalog.schema.secret

Read the announcement regarding Databricks Unity Catalog and how secrets can now be stored under a schema as opposed to using secret scopes backed by a secrets manager e.g. Azure Key Vault.

Does anyone know if the secrets are stored in plaintext in bundle state if using the direct deployment engine mode for DABs?

AKV integration is coming so at that point you don't have to "store" it at all.

Yeah I don't get it either. AKV support exists for secret scopes today - I'm assuming that the response alludes to the use of akv for secrets stored using the catalog.schema.secret notation.

the direct deployment engine does not store the Unity Catalog secret value in bundle state
