Multi cloud deployments and shared infrastructure enhance data privacy and security issues, with containerized workloads becoming mainstream in Kubernetes, there is a need to host containers securely in addition to virtual machines (VMs) to safeguard hardware-level workloads.
KubeVirt is a cloud native virtualization platform that comes with Confidential Virtual Machines for the most sensitive use cases. They take advantage of Trusted Execution Environments such as AMD SEV, Intel TDX, and IBM Secure Execution to provide data-in-motion encryption for their workloads and defend against subverted host admins as well as against system attacks.
In this session, we will cover KubeVirt methodology for Confidential VMs, including the design of the architecture, challenges of implementation, and deployments. We will examine how the VMs protect sensitive workloads using memory encryption, workload isolation while being placed within Kubernetes orchestration and automation.
