Clever KMS

Vault-compatible key management service that centralises secrets, secures them end-to-end and integrates seamlessly with your existing DevOps tools.

Clever KMS

Clever KMS is Clever Cloud’s managed vault-as-a-service for passwords, API keys, certificates and encryption keys. It is designed to protect sensitive data while remaining simple to use.

Built on our Materia architecture and FoundationDB, Clever KMS delivers strong isolation between tenants, native encryption in transit and at rest, and resilient, horizontally scalable storage that keeps your secrets available when your applications need them most.

Clever KMS can be used with any tool compatible with the Vault client (Hashicorp).
