I’m torn between lease and secrets engine. I need to double-check which one refers to the metadata aspect.

This question feels familiar; I think we had a practice question about leases and renewability. I’ll go with C.

I remember something about metadata being linked to credentials, but I can't recall if it's specifically a lease or something else.

I think it might be called a lease, but I'm not entirely sure. We talked about it in class.
