SGX VM support

[Anandakumar]

Hi Team,

I came across the SGX KVM and SGX QEMU that are needed to support the SGX Virtualization.

SGX QEMU is still in the development, So how production deployments are done so far? Everything on physical host server or any alternative Virtualization I am missing out?

Thanks,

Anand

Hello Anand,

KVM support is now officially upstreamed as of kernel 5.13. The official QEMU pull request is ready to go, delayed only by some other patches soon to be pulled in by the QEMU maintainer. Folks using it right now, are using the SGX-QEMU GitHub source. A good article on this here.

VMWare ESXi already has “vSGX” support.

SGX can also be enabled in Hyper-V guest VMs, which is what Azure uses.

Sincerely,

Jesus G.
