        <p>
          Confidential AI is made possible thanks to confidential computing. Unlike traditional VMs, where you have to trust that the host software is also secure, confidential VMs only require you to trust the software running within it and the platform's hardware root of trust.

          Your on-premises servers are vulnerable to insiders' attacks, and they also run the same privileged system software found in the public cloud. Therefore, they are susceptible to the same vulnerabilities and security risks.

          To help you seamlessly enable confidential computing within your private cloud, Canonical offers a tech preview of Intel TDX on Ubuntu 24.04 which provides base host OS, guest OS, and remote attestation functionalities.
