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.
