AWS CloudHSM launches new hsm2m.medium instance type

AWS CloudHSM launched hsm2m.medium with support for Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-3 Level 3 and non-FIPS CloudHSM clusters.

The new instance type provides customers with new features, increased performance, and flexibility. hsm2m.medium offers increased key capacity and higher elliptic curve performance compared with the existing hsm1.medium instance type. Backups from CloudHSM clusters based on hsm1.medium are compatible with hsm2m.medium. hsm2m.medium supports Mutual Transport Layer Security (mTLS) for communication from the CloudHSM client SDKs to the CloudHSM cluster.

The new hsm2m.medium instance type is available in four regions - United States (N. Virginia, Ohio, Oregon) and Europe (Dublin).
