Optimize your AWS CloudHSM costs with these tips

Right-size HSMs

Ensure your CloudHSM hardware security modules (HSMs) are correctly sized to meet your actual crypto processing needs to avoid unnecessary costs.

Use hourly pricing

Maximize CloudHSM's hourly pricing model by only paying for the time HSMs are provisioned and deprovision any not actively in use to avoid standby costs.

Group crypto workloads

Keep related cryptographic workloads on the same HSMs to maximize hardware utilization. Only provision additional HSMs if necessary to meet increased throughput requirements.
