How is a dynamic secret that has a TTL of 30 days avoiding static credentials sprawled across the estate? It's static (for 30 days) and the only difference I see between rotating the password of an ID every 30 days and a dynamic secret with a TTL of 30 days is that when I cycle the dynamic secret I have to reassign entitlements to the new user ID and correlate this new user ID with my monitoring systems and Vault audit data. I disagree that the compute cost to doing all of that is a negligible amount of overhead.

Like I said, I think there is a use case here for dynamic secrets, but I have questions about what it looks like when it comes to trying to do them at scale. If you have solutions to the worries I outlined, I'd love to hear them.
