However, each version has a unique identifier and URL.And, when an object is first created, it&#8217;s given a unique version identifier and marked as the current version of the object. <\/li><li>Thus, creation of a new instance with the same object name gives the new object a unique version identifier, causing it to become the current version.<\/li><li>However, objects in Key Vault can be addressed by specifying a version or by omitting the version for operations on the current version of the object. When using a Key with the name MasterKey, for example, conducting activities without providing a version leads the system to utilise the most recent version available. <\/li><li>Additionally, using the version-specific identifier instructs the system to utilise that particular version of the object.<\/li><li>Further, the objects are uniquely identified within Key Vault using a URL. That means, no two objects in the system have the same URL, regardless of geo-location. <\/li><li>Moreover, the complete URL to an object is the Object Identifier. And, the URL consists of a prefix that identifies the Key Vault, object type, user-provided Object Name, and an Object Version. <\/li><li>Lastly, the Object Name is case-insensitive and immutable.
