Oracle today added a confidential computing capability to its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure service at no extra cost. The service is based on AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) or AMD Secure Memory Encryption (SME) processors.
It’s not clear whether confidential computing will ever become the default option for deploying application workloads in the cloud, but a recent report by Everest Group forecasts the total addressable market for confidential computing could grow to US$54 billion by 2026, up from roughly US$2 billion last year.
