STACKIT Key Management Service („KMS“) is a managed service that simplifies the creation,
management, and use of cryptographic keys. It allows to perform cryptographic operations securely
and efficiently. The KMS API simplifies to integrate key management into applications and workflows.
We are excited to announce that the STACKIT Key Management Service (KMS) is now officially available in our EU02 region.
This expansion provides you with greater flexibility to manage your cryptographic keys and protect sensitive data within our second geographic location. By making KMS available in EU02, you can now ensure your encryption keys remain close to your regional workloads for optimal performance and local data residency.
Key highlights of this release:
Geographic Flexibility: Deploy and manage your KMS instances directly in EU02 to support your regional infrastructure.
Low Latency: Minimize response times for cryptographic operations by hosting keys in the same region as your integrated STACKIT services.
Full Feature Parity: Access the same robust security features, key lifecycle management, and portal integration you currently utilize in our primary region.
After the successful General Availability (GA) release of the STACKIT Key Management Service (KMS), we would like to inform you that the KMS API v1beta is deprecated and will be removed after 15 October 2025.
If you are still using the KMS API v1beta we advise you to migrate to the KMS API v1.
Breaking changes between v1beta and v1:
Post Key Ring has a different return code on success (202, was 201)
Post Wrapping Key has a different return code on success (202, was 200)
Post Key has a different return code on success (202, was 200)
Post Key Rotate has a different return code on success (202, was 200)
Post Key Restore has a different return code on success (204, was 200)
Post Key Import has a different return code on success (202, was 200)
We are happy to announce the release of our brand new STACKIT Key Management Service (KMS).
