How To Use Confidential Containers Without Confidential Hardware
Red Hat News, March 6th, 2023
The Confidential Containers (CoCo) project aims to implement a cloud-native solution for confidential computing using the most advanced trusted execution environments (TEE) technologies available from hardware vendors like AMD, IBM and Intel.
Recently, the first release of the project (version v0.1.0) was announced, allowing developers to find a solid base for contributing features for future releases. The community recognizes that not every developer has access to TEE-capable machines and we don't want this to be a blocker for contributions. So version 0.1.0 and later come with a custom runtime that lets developers play with CoCo on either a simple virtual or bare-metal machines.
