As the first product in google's cloud-confidential computing line, confidential virtual machines enable customers to encrypt data being processed for the first time, not just for off-state and during transmission. Based on the N2D virtual machine series on google's computing engine, confidential virtual machines provide high-performance processing for the most demanding computing tasks customers require and can encrypt the most sensitive data being processed in the cloud.

Google vice president and chief internet consultant Vint Cerf said:

AMD senior vice president and general manager of server business Dan McNamara said:

Google's confidential virtual machine provides:

Driving innovation with AMD and Google

Secret computing can implement computing scenarios that were previously impossible to implement, including:

Due to the high performance and advanced security features of AMD epyc processor and the combination of innovative confidential computing technology provided by Google, enterprises can share confidential datasets and carry out research collaboration in the cloud without worrying about competitors across different regions.

Amd epyc processor helps modern security centric cloud environment

Amd epyc processor provides powerful power for more than 120 kinds of virtual machines of cloud providers and hosting companies around the world, and supports various types of workload including high-performance, general-purpose, memory bound, etc.

At the same time, amd has recently joined the secret Computing Alliance to promote security across cloud computing environments.

The confidential virtual machine is available to all GCP customers in the following GCP regions: asia-southeast1, europe-west1, europe-west4, us-central1, and its beta version can be used for Google computing engine.
