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.

Attending SuseCon24

Last week MariaDB was present at SuseCon, both MariaDB Foundation as well as representatives from MariaDB Plc. The MariaDB Foundation has never attended SuseCon in the past, so this was an exciting new event for us. I’ll give you my view on the event and why I think it is a great event for the Open Source Software community.

The conference motto – #choice

SUSE’s focus is not on prescribing a particular technology, rather empowering its users to make the best choice for their situation. Most products in SUSE’s line-up work with multiple distributions and multiple software platforms.
