Usage: vault rotate [options]

  Rotates the backend encryption key which is used to secure data
  written to the storage backend. This is done by installing a new key
  which encrypts new data, while old keys are still used to decrypt
  secrets written previously. This is an online operation and is not
  disruptive.
