Using Key Vault to store connection strings and storage access keys in Azure
this question has been hanging around in my browser tabs for a while and I'm trying in background to get around this limitation, but realized finally that this is not possible without refactoring some of the things.
Essentially I was able to trick Cms parts to get connection string from source other than web.config with the help of `IDatabaseConnectionResolver` interface. However, it's not true everywhere. For instance, if we take the same A/B testing package (`EPiServer.Marketing.KPI.Dal.DatabaseContext`to be specific) it uses entity framework behind the scene and is constructing `DbContext` directly passing in name of the connection string:
public DatabaseContext() : base("name=EPiServerDB")
So IMHO, there are lot of places inside Episerver that needs to be refactored in order to support other sources for the connection info (not only to database) than web.config file.
And knowing setup in .Net Core - think this might be coming soon.

Thank you Valdis! I had a feeling that it might be impossible or require a lot of refactoring.

Hi!
I was thinking about using Azure Key Vault to store connection strings and storage access keys. Has anybody implemented this kind of solution with Episerver?
