Abstract

In a multitenant environment, confidential containers for the tenant having a trusted execution environment (TEE) which have security attested, can share data within the pod or between pods. The ability to share data for confidential containers of the same tenant eliminates the need to have multiple copies for different confidential containers. Thus, a storage device can store shared data specific to a tenant of the multitenant environment, and a caching service backed by protected hardware can manage access to the shared data. Management of the shared data can include attesting a key for a confidential container to verify that the confidential container is part of the TEE for a pod for the tenant, and access the shared data from the storage device for the confidential container based on the attested key.
