Creating a Managed HSM in Azure Key Vault

Question

Hi All, I am exploring the Managed HSM offering from Azure Key Vault and was not able to spot the same on the UI. Isn't there a way to create a Managed HSM and Keys within it using the UI? Just like how we create an Azure Key Vault and keys.

Answer 1

Hi @Bharat Shivram ,

I dont think so there is a GUI for the HSM at this moment, you will have to use the CLI or PowerSehll to deploy and configure the HSM. However you can provide the product feedback over here.

Answer 2

Thank you @JimmySalian-2011 ,

Q1> Once a managed HSM is created and activated (security domain download), How do i create Keys in these HSMs? Also does the same Key Vault APIs work seamlessly with Managed HSMs?

Q2> Once the managed HSMs are created, are they visible in UI or is it just CLI access that we have.

Answer 3

For both the questions - CLI is the answer.
