Google Cloud, at a Google Cloud Next 2020 Online event, announced it is making available in beta Confidential VMs, a new service that represents the cloud service provider’s first foray into the realm of confidential computing.
Sunil Potti, general manager and vice president of cloud security for Google Cloud, said Confidential VMs will complement existing secure cloud computing services that already isolate workloads and encrypt data at rest.
Google Cloud is following Microsoft Azure into the realm of confidential computing, which is being enabled by new classes of processors from AMD and Intel.
Confidential computing services may have a role to play in enabling IT teams to achieve that goal, but it may be a while before the processors on which confidential computing depends are employed widely across an extended enterprise.
