Protect your data with MariaDB Server and Intel® TDX

In 2023, Intel launched Intel® Trust Domain Extensions (Intel® TDX), their latest Confidential Computing technology that ensures data in use protection for hardware-isolated virtual machines and verified hardware and software integrity through attestation.

In this blog post, we will show that MariaDB Server can run correctly on an Intel® TDX enabled VM and that the in-memory data is protected from outside actors, even from the host OS running the VM. By coupling Intel’s Confidential Computing technology with MariaDB Server build in data-at-rest and data-in-transit protection, customers can gain an end-to-end protected solution.
