AWS CloudHSM

AWS CloudHSM provides dedicated hardware security modules for storing cryptographic keys, specifically targeting organizations that must meet strict regulatory compliance standards. It handles the physical isolation and management of keys within a dedicated cloud infrastructure, ensuring that sensitive cryptographic operations occur on hardware rather than shared virtual resources.

This setup suits enterprises with heavy compliance requirements, but it comes with a notable cost barrier. There is no free tier available, meaning you pay from the first minute of usage under a pay-as-you-go model. This makes it impractical for smaller projects or testing phases where budget constraints or zero-cost entry points are critical.
