Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 Practice Question
Your organization must safeguard customer-owned data-encryption keys used by several Azure services. The solution must meet the following requirements:
Keys must reside in a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated hardware security module (HSM).
The HSM must run in a dedicated single-tenant boundary that Microsoft manages for you.
Administrators must assign granular permissions by using Azure role-based access control (RBAC). Which Azure service should you recommend for storing the keys?
Azure Dedicated Hardware Security Module (HSM) service
Azure Key Vault Managed HSM is a fully managed, single-tenant HSM-as-a-service operated by Microsoft. The underlying nShield HSMs are validated to FIPS 140-2 Level 3, and the service integrates natively with Azure RBAC, letting you grant fine-grained roles such as Key Administrator or Key Reader. The Azure Key Vault Premium tier uses multi-tenant HSMs and is certified only to Level 2, while Azure Dedicated HSM-although Level 3 and single-tenant-requires customers to manage the appliance directly and does not leverage Azure RBAC. Azure Confidential Ledger is not intended for cryptographic key storage.
