Private Preview: DCesv6 and ECesv6 series confidential VMs with Intel® TDX
The DCesv6 and ECesv6 series are Azure’s next generation of Confidential Virtual Machines powered by the 5th Gen Intel® Xeon® processors (code-named Emerald Rapids) with Intel® Trust Domain Extensions (Intel® TDX). This will help to enable organizations to bring confidential workloads to the cloud without code changes to applications. The supported SKUs include the general-purpose families DCesv6-series and the memory optimized families ECesv6-series.
Confidential VMs are designed for tenants with high security and confidentiality requirements, providing a strong, hardware-enforced boundary. They ensure that your data and applications stay private and encrypted even while in use, keeping your sensitive code and other data encrypted in memory during processing. Additionally, we offer in-guest attestation support, enabling customers to confidently attest to and verify the integrity of their machines.
