“State of affairs: Confidential Computing on OpenStack”

From the schedule:

Felix Kronlage-Dammers will shed light on the evolving landscape of confidential computing within OpenStack-based cloud environments. With technologies like AMD SEV and Intel SGX available for years, the focus now turns to their integration and utilization within OpenStack infrastructures. While AMD SEV has been supported in OpenStack since the Train release, Intel SGX support remains in the realm of patch sets, yet to be fully integrated upstream. Kronlage-Dammers unveils ongoing efforts within the Sovereign Cloud Stack project to forward-patch existing Intel code for integration into OpenStack Bobcat, underscoring the importance of confidential computing in digital sovereign environments.

The presentation offers an insightful overview of confidential computing’s use cases in cloud environments, emphasizing its role in bolstering security and sovereignty. Kronlage-Dammers delves into the technological differences between AMD SEV and Intel SGX, exploring how these nuances influence their respective applications within cloud infrastructure. Furthermore, he elaborates on the current state of the Intel SGX patch set, detailing its impact on various OpenStack components and projects and outlining the path toward upstream integration.
