Update Summary
External key management for Azure Key Vault Managed HSM is generally available in all Azure public regions, enabling supported Azure services to use customer-managed keys held in customer-operated HSMs outside Microsoft infrastructure.
Update Details
New Features
- Azure services that support customer-managed keys with Managed HSM can use key-encryption keys stored in a customer-operated HSM outside Microsoft infrastructure.
- Managed HSM delegates key wrap and unwrap operations through a customer-operated proxy while external key material remains outside Microsoft infrastructure.
Hints
- Enablement requires coordination with your Microsoft account team.
- GA connectivity to the customer-operated proxy is available over the public internet.
- Azure Private Link integration is in public preview.
- Customers or their HSM providers are responsible for the external HSM, proxy, and network availability; these components are outside the Managed HSM SLA.
