Ack Tee Introduction And Version 1 0 Confidential Computing It Ppt Slides Diagrams

Description:

The image is a PowerPoint slide titled "ACK - TEE introduction and version 1.0," which introduces the Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) trusted execution environment (TEE) and its first major version. The slide is designed to highlight the features, launch date, objectives, and target users of the service, as well as to explain its architecture and workflow.

Key points presented in the slide include:

1. ACK features:

Offers TEE based hardware encryption technology for users with strict security needs.

Reduces the cost of building, delivering, and maintaining trusted and confidential apps.

Decreases the application barrier for secure computing technologies.

2. Launch:

The service was launched in January 2020.

3. Goal:

The goal is to make confidential computing easy for the world.

4. Target users:

The primary users are native SGX users.

The slide also outlines the architecture and workflow of ACK - TEE:

1. Users must request a commercial license and have a user's certificate.

2. Users sign their workload and build container images.

3. The images are pushed to the Alibaba cloud ACR (Alibaba Cloud Container Registry).

The Kubernetes Masters node features signed workloads, which are part of the confidential computing in a managed cluster.

The working mechanism of ACK - TEE is detailed, highlighting:

1. It takes advantage of managed Kubernetes cluster's current features like cloud services integration and maintenance abilities.

2. It minimizes the complexity of Kubernetes cluster operations and maintenance.

3. It simplifies the operation of SGX devices by supporting Enclave Page Cache (EPC) encrypted memory scheduling and management.

The slide includes diagrams that represent the process flow and components, such as the Intel Provisioning Service and Intel Attestation Service (IAS), which are part of the TEE ecosystem. 

The SGX device plugin, EBM with Intel SGX, and AESM are also mentioned, indicating the involvement of Intel's Software Guard Extensions (SGX) technology in creating a secure computing environment.
