In the world of cloud computing, we rely on abstraction layers to manage complex systems. While this simplifies development, it also creates vulnerabilities for sensitive data. Traditionally, privileged software within the cloud has access to your data, and could pose a significant security risk, if not managed properly.
But there’s a new way to protect your data: confidential computing. This technology utilizes hardware-based Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to secure data “in use,” ensuring it cannot be accessed or modified by unauthorized parties, including the cloud provider itself.
Intel® Trust Domain Extensions (Intel® TDX) is a key player in this field, offering a hardware-based isolation layer for virtual machines (VMs) running on Intel processors. This technology has been integrated into Google Cloud, and with Ubuntu’s comprehensive support, it’s easier than ever to run your workloads securely.
Here’s how to launch your Ubuntu Confidential VM with Intel® TDX on Google Cloud:
Example Command:
gcloud compute instances create INSTANCE_NAME
--machine-type MACHINE_TYPE --zone us-central1-a
--confidential-compute-type=TDX
--on-host-maintenance=TERMINATE
--image-family=IMAGE_FAMILY_NAME
--image-project=IMAGE_PROJECT
--project PROJECT_NAME
