PropertySourceLocator behaviorYou can use a DiscoveryClient (such as from Spring Cloud Consul) to locate
+a Vault server by setting spring.cloud.vault.discovery.enabled=true (default false).
+The net result of that is that your apps need a bootstrap.yml (or an environment variable)
+with the appropriate discovery configuration.
+The benefit is that the Vault can change its co-ordinates, as long as the discovery service
+is a fixed point. The default service id is vault but you can change that on the client with
+spring.cloud.vault.discovery.serviceId.
The discovery client implementations all support some kind of metadata map
+(e.g. for Eureka we have eureka.instance.metadataMap). Some additional properties of the service
+may need to be configured in its service registration metadata so that clients can connect
+correctly. Service registries that do not provide details about transport layer security
+need to provide a scheme metadata entry to be set either to https or http.
+If no scheme is configured and the service is not exposed as secure service, then
+configuration defaults to spring.cloud.vault.scheme which is https when it’s not set.
