AWS CloudHSM maps to Azure Cloud HSM. Azure Dedicated HSM, the older option, is closed to new customers and supported until July 31, 2028.
- Both are single-tenant, highly available HSM clusters that you administer, with PKCS#11, JCE, and OpenSSL client libraries. CloudHSM clusters run in FIPS or non-FIPS mode. Azure Cloud HSM is FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validated.
- For keys that Azure services use for encryption at rest, Managed HSM is usually the better fit, because Cloud HSM targets IaaS and custom application workloads.
