2. Improvements
Removed the Coprocessors options for NVIDIA Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) attestation from the Azure CVM application image creation in the Fortanix CCM user interface.
Improved the Fortanix CCM user interface across the following features to enhance usability and visual clarity:
Groups: Added a Group ID field with a copy option to help users easily reference and share group identifiers.
Applications: Updated the application creation screen and application type selection dialog to provide clearer options when creating applications of type Enclave OS, EDP, ACI, AMD SEV-SNP, and Azure Confidential Virtual Machine (CVM).
Infrastructure: Improved the Compute Nodes page for node enrollment.
The page now includes four platform tabs including Intel SGX, Azure SEV Containers, AWS Nitro Enclaves, and AMD SEV-SNP, allowing users to select the required platform and enroll compute nodes.
The node enrollment dialog box provides options to generate a join token, copy and download required certificates, and install the Fortanix Node Agent.
Workflows: Updated the Workflows page layout and added expand and collapse arrows to improve navigation and workflow visibility.
3. Limitations
Fortanix has a fair usage policy in this Early Customer Access Program. Hence, Fortanix has limited the resources one can create per account. Therefore, it is expected to observe a resource creation failure message once you have reached the maximum limit.
