"Welcome to The Platform Playbook podcast, your go-to source for exploring cutting-edge technologies and practical solutions in cloud infrastructure, virtualization, and container orchestration. In today's episode, we're unpacking the intersection of Confidential Computing and Disk Encryption with a focus on a fascinating solution called CC-FDE—Confidential Computing for Full Disk Encryption.

While KubeVirt, the popular platform for running virtual machines on Kubernetes, isn’t directly tied to CC-FDE, today we’ll explore how these advanced concepts could potentially enhance security within KubeVirt environments. CC-FDE offers a combined approach to protecting both data at rest and data in use by leveraging Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) like Intel TDX and AMD SEV.

We’ll break down key elements like remote attestation, encryption agents, and how CC-FDE focuses on securing the root filesystem rather than the entire disk. Plus, we’ll discuss the broader implications of integrating such a solution into containerized environments like KubeVirt. Whether you're curious about virtualization, workload security, or the future of data protection, this episode has something for you.

Stick around as we dive deep into the technical design, potential benefits, and implementation considerations for adapting CC-FDE to modern platforms like KubeVirt. Let's explore how the latest advancements in confidential computing can redefine security in cloud-native infrastructures.
