  The Management Endpoint is used for management operations including Create, Update, List, Get, and Delete. The Management Endpoint is also called the control plane URL or the KMSMANAGMENT endpoint.

  The Cryptographic Endpoint is used for cryptographic operations including Encrypt, Decrypt, Generate Data Encryption Key, Sign, and Verify. The Cryptographic Endpoint is also called the data plane URL or the KMSCRYPTO endpoint.

  You can find the management and cryptographic endpoints in a vault's details metadata. See Getting a Vault's Details for instructions.

  For regional endpoints for the Key Management, Secret Management, and Secret Retrieval APIs, see API Reference and Endpoints.
