About this document
Shielded VMs by David Sofita is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Shielded VMs are virtual machines designed to protect sensitive workloads from host administrators by encrypting VM disks and requiring trusted hosts for operation. Windows Server 2025 supports shielded VMs but is no longer actively developing this feature, shifting focus towards Azure Confidential Computing. Key requirements for deployment include using Generation 2 VMs with Secure Boot and vTPM, and implementing a guarded fabric with the Host Guardian Service for attestation.
