# Provisioning VirtuCrypt cloud HSMs

> Guides users through provisioning and building a VirtuCrypt cloud HSM environment using a numbered list.

This document guides you through the following process of provisioning and building a VirtuCrypt cloud HSM environment:

1. Provision a cloud HSM.
2. Add the cloud HSMs to a load-balancing cluster.
3. Point the CryptoTunnel to the cluster and download client certificates.

> [!NOTE]
>
> This document assumes that you completed all steps of the Getting Started with VirtuCrypt onboarding guide.

To get started, log in to the VirtuCrypt VIP Dashboard specific to the purchased crypto environment (production or test):

* Production services use the production VIP Dashboard at [**https://vip.virtucrypt.com/**](https://vip.virtucrypt.com/).
* Test services use the test VIP Dashboard at [**https://testvip.virtucrypt.com/**](https://testvip.virtucrypt.com/).

If you use cloud HSMs on both service types, complete all steps on both sites.
