Exploring Ubuntu Confidential VMs with Intel TDX on Google Cloud

Confidential computing is a revolutionary technology that disrupts the conventional threat model of public clouds. In the past, vulnerabilities within the extensive codebase of the cloud’s privileged system software, including the operating system and hypervisor, posed a constant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of code and data in operation. Likewise, unauthorized access by a cloud administrator could compromise the security of your virtual machine (VM).

To protect your data and code against such threats on Google Cloud, Ubuntu Confidential VMs (CVMs) offer enhanced security for your workloads by utilizing hardware-protected Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). To achieve such strong security guarantees, Ubuntu Confidential VMs build on Intel’s innovations at the silicon level, and the foundation laid by Intel® Trust Domain Extensions (Intel® TDX). Ubuntu also offers further primitives to further secure your CVMs at rest, and offer a strong remote attestation.

Come join this webinar to learn about the great engineering that goes into making Ubuntu confidential VMs with Intel TDX on Google Cloud, and how you use them to implement a zero trust strategy for your security-sensitive application.
