Recognizing obstacles on the path to broad adoption of confidential computing
summary
Claims that broad adoption hinges first on closing a regulatory vacuum with a multi-year timeline — estimated five to seven years — followed by solving tangible tech gaps: hardware acceleration for network and storage, PCIe/SDP/F endpoints to avoid encrypting intra-workload traffic, and integration tooling for true lift‑and‑shift of thousands of apps. Also calls out attestation fragmentation and a messy shared‑responsibility model across confidential VMs, GPUs, storage and serverless. Predicts confidential containers and serverless landing soon but warns fragmentation will slow uptake.
