Abstract
An apparatus to facilitate provenance audit trails for microservices architectures is disclosed. The apparatus includes one or more processors to: obtain, by a microservice of a service hosted in a datacenter, provisioned credentials for the microservice based on an attestation protocol; generate, for a task performed by the microservice, provenance metadata for the task, the provenance metadata including identification of the microservice, operating state of at least one of a hardware resource or a software resource used to execute the microservice and the task, and operating state of a sidecar of the microservice during the task; encrypt the provenance metadata with the provisioned credentials for the microservice; and record the encrypted provenance metadata in a local blockchain of provenance metadata maintained for the hardware resource executing the task and the microservice.
