Generally Available: Confidential VMs for Ubuntu 24.04 in AKS

Confidential Virtual Machines (CVM) offer strong security and confidentiality for tenants. Now generally available, CVM for Ubuntu 24.04 in AKS enables node pools with CVM to target the migration of highly sensitive container workloads to AKS without any code refactoring while benefiting from the features of AKS. 

You can create new node pools using supported CVM vm sizes with Ubuntu 24.04. The nodes in a node pool created with CVM use a customized Ubuntu 24.04 image specially configured for CVM. Ubuntu 24.04 is not yet the default OS version on AKS, meaning you’ll need to specify `Ubuntu2404` as the OsSku during node pool creation.
