Mark Russinovich Chief Technology Officer and Technical Fellow, Microsoft Azure
The pandemic has accelerated digital transformation globally and the scalability and security advantages offered by Microsoft Azure have helped many customers move forward. One key tenet we have in Azure is that your data is your data.
In Azure, we take your data security seriously and have built numerous controls around data at rest and data at flight. As a founding member of the Confidential Computing Consortium, we are also an innovator in
confidential computing which extends those protections to data running on the processor itself. For more than 3 years financial services, governments, health care providers, and even messaging companies have been using Azure confidential computing to unlock new scenarios like multi-party machine learning and move their more sensitive applications to the cloud.
Today, I am announcing that we are further broadening the confidential computing options available to Azure customers through our technology partnership with AMD, specifically by being the first major cloud provider to offer
confidential virtual machines on the new AMD EPYC™ 7003 series processors. This new approach complements existing Azure confidential computing solutions such as confidential containers for Azure Kubernetes Service and opens the possibility to create new confidential applications without requiring code modifications which in turn substantially simplifies the process of creating confidential applications.
