Confidential Computing Summit 2026

Confidential computing is becoming a critical foundation for cloud security in an era defined by AI acceleration, data sovereignty requirements, and rising expectations for end-to-end protection of sensitive workloads. Azure is advancing this space with new infrastructure, stronger platform protections, and innovations designed to make confidential workloads more resilient, scalable, and production ready. This session will highlight the latest Azure Confidential Computing developments, including v6 confidential VMs on AMD and Intel, expanded Azure regional availability, and continued progress in production readiness. We will also look ahead to live migration for confidential VMs, including a live demo, and discuss how this capability improves workload continuity during planned security updates and unexpected hardware events. In addition, we will explore future investments acrossenclaves, platform attestation, and confidential AI. Topics include nested virtualization to enable confidential enclaves, stronger platform attestation with recovery capabilities, protection of Azure trusted computing base services, and the growing need for confidential GPUs to secure prompts, model weights, and distributed inference workloads for modern AI applications at scale.
