Managing keys with the KMU and CMU
If using the latest SDK version series, use CloudHSM CLI to manage the keys in your AWS CloudHSM cluster.
If using the previous SDK version series, you can manage keys on the HSMs in your AWS CloudHSM cluster using the key_mgmt_util command line tool. Before you can manage keys, you must start the AWS CloudHSM client, start key_mgmt_util, and log in to the HSMs. For more information, see Getting Started with key_mgmt_util.
