Azure Cloud HSM
AzureSecuritySingle-tenant FIPS 140-2 Level 3 hardware security modules in your VNet for keys you must hold yourself — replaces the older Dedicated HSM offering, exposes PKCS#11 / JCE / OpenSSL clients, and supports the workloads (PKI roots, code-signing, payment HSM) that can't share a multi-tenant key vault

Single-tenant FIPS 140-2 Level 3 hardware security modules in your VPC for keys you must hold yourself — code-signing, document signing, TLS offload, and PKI roots where shared multi-tenant KMS isn't acceptable for compliance reasons
FIPS 140-2 Level 3 hardware-protected keys exposed through the same Cloud KMS API as software keys — keys never leave the HSM hardware boundary, supporting workloads (PKI roots, code-signing, regulated payment flows) that need a hardware attestation rather than a multi-tenant software KMS
