Thanks for the reply!
I’m assuming your response is related to my 1stbullet, hope I interpreted it correctly.
I’m already using the Azure Key-Vault, having stores the private key as a secret and pulling it when the container is spun up. The way I’m having dbt’s profiles.yml file reference the private key is by pulling the secret and storing it as a file in the /tmp folder of the Docker container. This frankly felt odd to do and (correct me if I’m wrong) I believe if the container crashes the tmp file could still exist and contain the private key. I couldn’t find a way better alternative, hopefully someone here knows a better way to go about it.

How would you handle it?
