Services
Today we are announcing the general availability of the guest attestation feature for AMD SEV-SNP based confidential VMs. Guest attestation enables verifying the trustworthiness (good state) of the trusted execution environment on which the guest VM is executing. It lets you do the following:
* Use the guest attestation feature to verify that a confidential VM is running on a hardware-based trusted execution environment (TEE) with security features (isolation, integrity, secure boot) enabled.
* Allow application deployment decisions (whether to launch a sensitive workload) based on the hardware state returned by the library call.
* Use remote attestation artifacts (token and claims) received from another system (on a confidential VM) to enable relying parties to gain trust to make transactions with the other system.
* Receive recommendations and alerts of unhealthy confidential VMs in Microsoft Defender for Cloud.
To learn more about guest attestation see the [documentation](https://aka.ms/guest-attest-docs) and the [blog post](https://aka.ms/guest-attest-blog-Ignite2022).
