Confidential Computing Needs to Go Mainstream
Confidential computing is a term you may have heard in the past, but it is also one that a lot of the industry is sleeping on. Many cloud providers are looking towards a world in the not-too-distant future where confidential computing is ubiquitous. While it is challenging to secure a computing environment to ensure the data brought into that environment is safe from even a cloud provider, it is even more challenging to expand that past the CPU motherboard and to AI and other accelerators. As such, it was time to get into confidential computing. As a quick note: Confidential computing is an industry-wide effort, and needs to be. At the same time, we cannot go into every unique implementation of it, so instead, we are going to use AMD SEV-SNP for our examples since AMD is already powering many of the confidential computing cloud offerings and they are rapidly growing server CPU market share. We need to say AMD is sponsoring this. Confidential Computing: Protecting Data in Use When...
