CoCo without Hardware
Testing and development without hardware
Categories:
For testing or development, Confidential Containers can be deployed without any hardware support.
This is referred to as a coco-dev
or non-tee
.
A coco-dev
deployment functions the same way as Confidential Containers
with an enclave, but a non-confidential VM is used instead of a confidential VM.
This does not provide any security guarantees, but it can be used for testing.
No additional host configuration is required as long as the host supports virtualization.
