An absolute game-changer for secure cloud adoption and securely processing data at the edge or in the cloud. ![]() What excites me about Confidential Computing is that customers now have what I call an on-site equivalent privacy, in the cloud and at the edge. SLES 15 SP5 supports the latest system innovations from AMD, Arm, IBM and Intel. That’s why SUSE has been at the forefront of enabling this technology in its Linux operating system products and in Linux generally. With the proper support of the operating system, customers can now run fully encrypted virtual machines (VM), no matter the environment. However, today it has become a reality with the recent emerging of two new technologies for the 64bit AMD/Intel architecture: AMD’s SEV-SNP and Intel’s TDX. The concept of Confidential Computing has been around for many years, but primarily as a future concept. What is SUSE’s part here, and what impact does Confidential Computing have on cloud native transformation? In your SUSECON Keynote you talked about Confidential Computing, which has been around for several years. This will be a game-changer for our customers in the adoption of cloud, enabling cloud native transformation. With our latest version, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15, we have also introduced support for Confidential Computing, which sets new standards for protection data in use and thus security in cloud environments. With the help of SUSE Manager, customers simplify and secure their mixed Linux environments – on premises, on the edge or in clouds – to maintain infrastructure security and compliance at any scale. In addition, with live-patching for the Linux Kernel and user-space, SUSE customers can run critical security updates and serious bug fixes without service interruption. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) is certified for Common Criteria in EAL 4+, which includes that software production and delivery processes follow a secure software supply chain: This is a huge advantage for customers in light of NIS-2 regulations, as this certification provides a significant reduction in legal liability because the scope of the evaluation includes the entire security of the software supply chain, which can therefore be considered verified by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). In my keynote at SUSECON in June, I had the opportunity to converse with leaders from our customers Geberit and MTU Aero Engines, who innovate with SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE).īut why is Enterprise Linux important for our customers’ transformation to cloud native? SUSE continuously innovates and invests to ensure we deliver the most secure open source software stack, and customers know they can rely on any of our products across our entire product portfolio to rapidly and securely transform to cloud native environments – Enterprise Linux, cloud native technology, and NeuVector for zero-trust full lifecycle security, all in lockstep. With edge and IoT, the usage of cloud computing will become an enabler for our global sharing economy, driving innovative use cases with massive economies of scale. You won’t find a hyperscaler who doesn’t offer Linux for the enterprise or one that doesn’t run their own services on Linux. Linux is the de-facto standard for running business-critical workloads – on premises and in the cloud. What role can Enterprise Linux play here? But while cloud adoption is rapidly growing, many CIOs are still hesitant to move their business-critical workloads to the cloud due to security concerns and/or for regulatory reasons. To help answer this question, Vojtech Pavlik, SUSE’s General Manager for Business-critical Linux, discusses the future of the industry, SUSE’s plans for Linux, and its role in a cloud native world. ![]() ![]() Is Linux with all its flavours a dinosaur, or can it play a vital role in a cloud native world? Cloud native, edge, security, and AI is where innovation happens today.
