CoCo without Hardware

Testing and development without hardware

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.
