Azure trusted launch VMs
Constellation supports Azure trusted launch VMs. These are VMs with instance type Standard_D*_v4 and Standard_E*_v4.
:::caution
Trusted launch VMs don't provide runtime encryption. For highest security, use Confidential VMs.
:::
Run constellation config instance-types to show all supported instance types.
VM images
Azure currently doesn't support community galleries for trusted launch VMs. So you need to import the VM image into your cloud subscription.
The latest image is available at https://public-edgeless-constellation.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/azure_image_exports/2.0.0. Simply adjust the last three numbers if you want to download an image for a different version.
After you've downloaded the image, create a resource group constellation-images in your Azure subscription and import the image.
You can use a script to do this:
wget https://github.com/edgelesssys/constellation/blob/main/hack/importAzure.sh
chmod +x importAzure.sh
AZURE_IMAGE_VERSION=2.0.0 AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME=constellation-images AZURE_IMAGE_FILE=./2.0.0 ./importAzure.sh
The script creates the following resources:
- A new image gallery with the default name
constellation-import - A new image definition with the default name
constellation - The actual image with the provided version. In this case
2.0.0
Once the import is completed, use the ID of the image version in your constellation-conf.yaml for the image field. Set confidentialVM to false.
:::info
The constellation create command will issue a warning because manually imported images aren't recognized as production grade images:
Configured image doesn't look like a released production image. Double check image before deploying to production.
Please ignore this warning.
