AMD SEV-SNP Hypervisor Support Nears The Mainline Linux Kernel
AMD's upstreaming effort around Secure Encrypted Virtualization Secure Nested Paging (SEV-SNP) to the mainline Linux kernel appears to be nearly wrapped up with the latest hypervisor patches now at their fourteenth revision.
While AMD has maintained an out-of-tree kernel repository on GitHub with all of their latest SEV encryption bits for VMs, the effort of getting all of the SEV-SNP code into the mainline Linux kernel since the launch of the EPYC 7003 series has been quite a lengthy affair. Here's to hopefully seeing this work wrap up soon for having a compelling upstreamed solution for securing VMs and embracing confidential computing.
