What is confidential computing? A high-level explanation for CISOs | Ubuntu
Privacy enhancing technologies and confidential computing are two of my favorite topics to talk about! So much so that I am writing this blog post on a sunny Saturday afternoon. But wait, what’s that I hear you murmuring? “What is confidential computing? And how does it affect me?” Those are two very good questions.
Before we get into the details, let’s imagine you are the chief information security officer of Palabs, a leading genomics company which specialises in sequencing the DNA of curious citizens who are willing to spit into small containers and ship them across oceans for analysis. In exchange, your company provides them a data-driven and science-backed report of probabilities detailing where their ancestors might have come from (sorry grandma, you’re not from Italy! You might wanna go easy on all that pasta now).

Canonical works with NVIDIA and BT to unlock infrastructure scalability for data scientists, technical and creative professionals - PCR
Ubuntu KVM has extended its reach to AI/ML applications and graphics-intensive applications with native support for NVIDIA virtual GPU (vGPU) software products, including NVIDIA Virtual Compute Server (vCS) and NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstation (vWS). Canonical has been working closely with NVIDIA to ensure frictionless integration and a best-in-class user experience. This allows all Ubuntu users, from those in data science to those working on high-end professional graphics, to benefit from powerful GPU performance across the entire spectrum of cloud infrastructure.

Canonical works with NVIDIA and BT to unlock infrastructure scalability for data scientists, technical and creative professionals
Ubuntu KVM — an industry-leading hypervisor — extends its reach to AI/ML applications and graphics-intensive applications with native support for NVIDIA virtual GPU (vGPU) software products, including NVIDIA Virtual Compute Server (vCS) and NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstation (vWS). Canonical has been working closely with NVIDIA to ensure frictionless integration and a best-in-class user experience. This allows all Ubuntu users, from those in data science to those working on high-end professional graphics, to benefit from powerful GPU performance across the entire spectrum of cloud infrastructure.
“By processing data closer to the end device, edge computing has the potential to minimise the amount of data that must be transported across our core network.” said Paul Veitch, Senior Manager of Software Based Networks Research at BT. “However, we must avoid cancelling out these network cost savings due to additional operational complexity. The introduction of NVIDIA virtual GPU support in Ubuntu means that we not only can consistently and cost-effectively leverage the same monitoring and maintenance tools in core and edge deployments, we can also unlock differentiated services for our customers”.
