AWS Key Management Service
AWS Key Management Service (KMS) is a managed service that facilitates the creation and control of cryptographic keys used to protect your data. It provides centralized management of keys and policies across integrated services and applications, allowing you to define permissions and monitor key usage. AWS KMS integrates with other AWS services, enabling seamless encryption of data stored within these services and control over access to the keys that decrypt it. Developers can utilize the AWS Encryption SDK to incorporate encryption and digital signature functionalities directly into their application code. AWS KMS supports the generation and verification of hash-based message authentication codes to ensure message integrity and authenticity. The service employs hardware security modules validated under the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 Cryptographic Module Validation Program.

HashiCorp Vault
Secure, store and tightly control access to tokens, passwords, certificates, encryption keys for protecting secrets and other sensitive data using a UI, CLI, or HTTP API. Secure applications and systems with machine identity and automate credential issuance, rotation, and more. Enable attestation of application and workload identity, using Vault as the trusted authority. Many organizations have credentials hard coded in source code, littered throughout configuration files and configuration management tools, and stored in plaintext in version control, wikis, and shared volumes. Safeguarding and ensuring that a credentials isn’t leaked, or in the likelihood it is, that the organization can quickly revoke access and remediate, is a complex problem to solve.

Yandex Key Management Service
Use keys to protect the secrets, personal data, and sensitive information you store in the cloud. Create and delete keys, set up access policies, and perform rotation via the management console, CLI, or API. Yandex KMS implements symmetric and asymmetric cryptography. Use the REST or RPC API to encrypt and decrypt small amounts of data, such as secrets and local encryption keys, as well as to sign data using e-signature schemes. You manage access to encrypted data, and Yandex KMS ensures the reliability and physical security of keys. Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) are available. Encrypt small amounts of data using the SDK in Java or Go. To encrypt larger amounts of data, the service is integrated with popular encryption libraries, including the AWS Encryption SDK and Google Tink. Integration with Yandex Lockbox makes it possible to encrypt secrets with your own keys. Secrets and data can also be protected using encryption keys in Managed Service for Kubernetes.
