Trusted Compute#

Trusted Compute is a set of software-defined security extensions that utilize hardware security capabilities of the Edge Node within the Edge Manageability Framework.

A user can select and deploy trusted compute extensions on a node to achieve higher security assurances for their workloads. This extension enhances edge node protection through:

  • Continuous Monitoring and

  • Workload Protection through Isolated Execution

Trusted Compute is a key aspect of Edge Orchestrator that provides workload protections of the system. This section provides a comprehensive view of Edge Orchestrator Trusted Compute extension and an overview of key components that help you monitor the trust status of the edge nodes and protect the workloads by isolated execution.
