Confidential Virtual Machines (CVM) offer strong security
and confidentiality for tenants. Now generally available, CVM for Ubuntu 24.04
in AKS enables node pools with CVM to target the migration of highly sensitive
container workloads to AKS without any code refactoring while benefiting from
the features of AKS.
You can create new node pools using supported CVM vm
sizes with Ubuntu 24.04. The nodes in a node pool created with CVM use a
customized Ubuntu 24.04 image specially configured for CVM. Ubuntu 24.04 is not
yet the default OS version on AKS, meaning you’ll need to specify `Ubuntu2404`
as the OsSku during node pool creation.
