Securing compute
- Learn how to secure your compute infrastructure by enforcing keyless, least-privilege VM identities and centralizing remote SSH access without public IP exposure. You will verify boot-level integrity against rootkits using Shielded VMs, and deploy Confidential VMs and Confidential Spaces to enforce memory-level encryption for secure multi-party collaboration.
