What are Compute Nodes in Fortanix Confidential Computing Manager?

  • Compute nodes are bare metal servers or virtual machines running in cloud or on-premise.

  • Users can label compute nodes when registering to Fortanix Confidential Computing Manager (CCM) to provide identity and policy management on the compute nodes​.

  • Before running a Compute Node, it must be enrolled in Fortanix CCM. This is called the Node Enrollment process. To know more about how to enroll a compute node see the article User's Guide: Compute Nodes.
