Fedora 41 Aims To Ship AMD SEV-SNP Confidential Virtualization Host Support


With the release of Fedora 41 in October, this Red Hat sponsored Linux distribution is hoping to have all the software bits aligned that its AMD SEV-SNP virtualization stack will be all squared away for this latest iteration of Secure Encrypted Virtualization.

Fedora 41 is also planning to ship updated Coconut SVSM, iVGM, and EDK2 packages for rounding out the SEV-SNP support. ... Fedora has provided support for launching confidential virtual machines using KVM on x86_64 hosts for several years, using the SEV and SEV-ES technologies available from AMD CPUs. The SEV-SNP technology is a significant design enhancement and architectural change to addresses the key gaps, increasing security and unlocking more powerful use cases for confidential virtual machines."
