Thales Data Protection on Demand now collects audit logs for Luna Cloud HSM Services using client version 10.2 and newer. Users can generate audit log files and retrieve signed URLs for access to the audit log files using the Audit Query API /v1/audit-log-exports endpoint. Audit logs provide a record of the outcome of an action by an actor on a resource. 

For more information about Audit Logging see About the Audit Log API. 

The servicePlan field is being made mandatory for service creation when using the API, for example when using POST/service_instances or POST/services.

If you use the API to provision services, you will need to pass a value matching one of the plans listed in the Open Service Broker catalog. For Luna Cloud HSM services, you must pass "single_hsm". Failure to pass a valid plan will result in a 400 error.

See the Thales Documentation Portal for more information about available endpoints and fields.

• Luna HSM Client 10.4.1 allows you to initialize a Luna Cloud HSM service using a domain secret imported from a red PED key. This allows you to clone objects between PED-authenticated Luna HSM partitions and Luna Cloud HSM enabling cloud backups and improving availability by adding Luna Cloud HSM to your HA groups. See Initializing a Luna Cloud HSM Service for more information.

Added

The Thales Luna Cloud HSM service is now available through Google Cloud Marketplace. Provisioning a Luna Cloud HSM service through Google Cloud Marketplace automatically generates a Thales Data Protection on Demand (DPoD) tenant and registers the user as the primary tenant administrator. The DPoD tenant provides access to features such as reporting and user and account management.

See the Thales Luna Cloud HSM service and Thales Data Protection on Demand documentation for more information.

Added:

Thales Data Protection on Demand can support requests to restore a Luna Cloud HSM Service partition to a previous state. 

Partition snapshots are taken daily and stored for 7 days. A tenant administrator can submit a partition snapshot restore request to have a partition restored to a previous state. Users can request restoration of a partition to recover from catastrophic events such as accidental zeroization of the service partition. Partition rollbacks can take up to 48 hours to complete.

Restoring a partition will undo any changes made to the service partition since the backup date, this includes removing new objects from the service partition and resetting password changes. 

Please download and complete the Partition Snapshot Restoration Request Form and include it in your support request to Thales Customer Support Portal. 

See the Partition Snapshot Restoration Guide for more information.
