Trusted Cloud: Security Practice Guide for VMware Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Environments

48 A cloud workload is an abstraction of the actual instance of a functional application that is virtualized or 49 containerized to include compute, storage, and network resources. Organizations need to be able to 50 monitor, track, apply, and enforce their security and privacy policies on their cloud workloads, based on 51 business requirements, in a consistent, repeatable, and automated way. The goal of this project is to 52 develop a trusted cloud solution that will demonstrate how trusted compute pools leveraging hardware 53 roots of trust can provide the necessary security capabilities. These capabilities not only provide 54 assurance that cloud workloads are running on trusted hardware and in a trusted geolocation or logical 55 boundary, but also improve the protections for the data in the workloads and in the data flows between 56
