Use Confidential Virtual Machines and Enclaves to improve your cluster security

Confidential computing, using hardware-enforced trusted execution environments (TEEs) like secure enclaves, improves cluster security in the cloud-native ecosystem, particularly in Kubernetes. TEEs provide a secure and trusted execution environment for critical cryptographic operations and protect sensitive data, while technologies like AMD SEV, Intel SGX, and Intel TDX offer TEE capabilities that are closely integrated with the userspace, providing low overhead and specific use case optimizations.
