The Confidential Computing Story: Early Development Across the Stack - Part II

Explore the second session of the Confidential Computing Story, focusing on early development across the stack and the challenges of building on moving pieces. Dive into the adoption of the Confidential Compute stack, which is not yet fully upstreamed in the Linux Kernel, QEMU, or in the Kata and Confidential Containers projects. Learn how these projects aim to leverage Confidential Computing in the Cloud Native ecosystem and discover the collaborative efforts between Intel teams and distributions to streamline development for both creators and adopters. Gain insights into the process of constructing a viable upper stack for early adopters while working with evolving components. Understand why working with moving parts is a normal part of development and how collaboration ensures timely solutions once the foundation is established. This 31-minute KVM Forum talk, presented by Fabiano Fidêncio and Mikko Ylinen, offers valuable perspectives on navigating the complexities of emerging technologies in cloud computing and security.
