A CloudHSM Cluster, Honest About What It Cannot Do

Cluster and HSMs, with the parts nobody mentions: AWS holds no copy of your keys, Terraform cannot initialise the cluster, and an uninitialised cluster bills per HSM per hour while being unable to store anything.

This is the operations reference: version drift, dependants and neighbours. For what the module provisions, its inputs and outputs, and how to buy it, see the catalogue entry.

Provider drift

This artifact declares no Terraform provider requirements, so there is nothing to drift. Provider freshness applies to Terraform and OpenTofu modules.

What depends on this

No reference architecture names this module, so changing it affects only configurations that reference it directly.

Nearest alternatives

Same cloud, same category. These are what you would weigh against it without changing provider.

The same job on other clouds

This module has no cross-cloud peer set in the catalogue, so there is no portability comparison to draw.

Installing it

module "aws_cloudhsm" {
  source  = "www.iac-bazaar.com/iac-bazaar/aws-cloudhsm/aws"
  version = "1.0.0"
}

A registry token is required for the download itself. Installing through the registry protocol has the two credential steps.
