Key Management Service (KMS)
Alibaba Cloud Key Management Service allows you to create and manage encryption keys. It falls under the Compute category, helping teams handle cryptographic assets directly within the cloud environment. This tool is designed for organizations needing centralized control over their key lifecycle without managing underlying hardware infrastructure themselves.
Choose this service if you require a pay-as-you-go model for key management without upfront commitments. Be aware that there is no free tier available, meaning every key operation incurs a cost. This pricing structure requires careful monitoring to avoid unexpected charges, especially in environments with high key rotation frequency.
