<ahref="https://www.edgeless.systems/products/constellation/">Constellation</a> is the first Confidential Kubernetes platform. It leverages <ahref="https://www.edgeless.systems/resources/confidential-computing/">confidential computing</a> to isolate entire Kubernetes clusters and all workloads from the rest of the cloud infrastructure.

From the inside, it's a fully featured, [certified] Kubernetes engine. From the outside, it's an end to end isolated, always encrypted stronghold. A Confidential Cloud in the public cloud.
Constellation is open source and enterprise-ready, tailored for unleashing the power of confidential computing for all your workloads at scale.
- [Persistent volume](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/persistent-volumes/) encryption for block storage. [Encrypted in the confidential Kubernetes context][storage-encryption], keys and plaintext data never leave the cluster. No trust in the cloud storage backend required
- [Key management][key-management] for transparent network and storage encryption
### Everything verifiable
- [Verifiable][cluster-attestation] integrity and confidentiality of the entire Kubernetes cluster
- Kubernetes node attestation based on confidential computing. Nodes are [verified][node-attestation] on their integrity and identity with a hardware-based remote attestation procedure before joining the cluster
- [Supply chain protection][supply-chain] with [sigstore](https://www.sigstore.dev/)
- [Confidential computing-optimized][images], fully measured, and integrity-protected node OS
