Confidential VM option for Azure Databricks Preview

Azure Databricks & Azure Confidential Computing are excited to announce the Public Preview of Azure Databricks support for Azure Confidential Computing options for data plane.

 

Feature Overview  

Azure Databricks now supports using Confidential computing VM options while creating clusters. This new feature emphasizes our commitment to cloud security. With this new feature, now you can run your Azure Databricks workload securely & confidentially on Azure. Azure confidential computing generally attracts customers in highly regulated industries & regions but is equally applicable to any business that is looking to run their analytics, machine learning and other workloads in a privacy preserving way. 

 

Security Benefits

Azure already encrypts data at rest and in transit, and confidential computing helps protect data in use, including the cryptographic keys.  Azure confidential computing helps customers prevent unauthorized access to data in use, including from the cloud operator, by processing data in a hardware-based and attested Trusted Execution Environment (TEE).
