2. Enable Confidential Computing (optional)

In order to enable Confidential Computing on our Compute Resource Node, you must:

Use an AMD CPU from the 8004 or 9004 families.
Ensure that your system supports confidential computing. We have only tested Ubuntu 24.04 so far.
Enable SEV and SEV-SNP in the BIOS.
Enable confidential computing in the aleph-vm configuration.

Enable SEV in the configuration of aleph-vm, by default in /etc/aleph-vm/supervisor.env. This is not the default yet.

ALEPH_VM_ENABLE_CONFIDENTIAL_COMPUTING=True

After launching the server you can check the endpoint
http://localhost:4020/status/config or https://<your-node-domain>/status/config and verify that ENABLE_CONFIDENTIAL_COMPUTING has the value true.
