+Cannot be used as a typedef in the class arguments because hieradata doesn't pass it as such but as a regular string.
+
+The `unwrap` method gives access to the original data.
+
+It doesn't encrypt anything - its only purpose is the hiding of data from logs and reports.
+
+To use Sensitive with a template we can wrap the `template` reference in it. Such as this:
+```
+'/etc/dnsdist/dnsdist.conf':
+    content => Sensitive(template('profile/application/dnsdist.conf.erb'));
+```
