+# Refactor of the Release Workflow
+
+## Decision
+
+We will stop providing all variants of the official Tractus-X EDC distributions that come pre-packaged with Azure Vault as HSM.
+
+## Rationale
+
+Different reasons are pushing toward this decision:
+- Tractus-X Connector is the reference implementation for Catena-X: this project is not meant to satisfy different needs
+  but to show how an EDC Connector distribution for Catena-X can be assembled. Our focus should point toward maintaining
+  a single distribution.
+- Tractus-X is an open source software, and we should focus on a distribution that involves OSS services.
+- For the past year there were no resources to stand up an integration test environment, i.e. an actual Azure Vault instance
+- There is no reason for favoritism toward Azure Vault over other services like AWS SecretsManager or similar
+
+## Approach
+
+We will deprecate, 0.8.0:
+- `tractusx-connector-azure-vault` helm chart
+- `edc-controlplane-postgresql-azure-vault` docker image
+- `edc-dataplane-postgresql-azure-vault` docker image
+
+We will stop publishing them from version 0.9.0 on.
