 ~> For secret and sensitive values, you should consider using a secret
 management solution like **[HashiCorp's Vault](https://www.vaultproject.io/)**.
-While it is possible to secure values in Consul's KV store, Vault provides a
-more robust interface for secret management.

 To only update a key if it has not been modified since a given index, specify
 the `-cas` and `-modify-index` flags:

+### Locking Primatives
 
 To create or tune a lock, use the `-acquire` and `-session` flags. The session must already exist (this command will not create it or manage it):
 
-```shell-session

 ```
 
 When you are finished, release the lock:
