Description

The DCesv6, DCedsv6, ECesv6, and ECedsv6 series are Azure’s next generation of confidential Virtual Machines (VMs) based on 5th Gen Intel® Xeon® processors with Intel® Trust Domain Extensions (Intel® TDX). These new confidential VMs help organizations to move their most sensitive workloads to the cloud—without requiring any application code changes. Available today for production deployments across both general-purpose (DCesv6, DCedsv6) and memory-optimized (ECesv6, ECedsv6) VM families, this release delivers a powerful combination of performance, scalability, and hardware-enforced security.
