[virt-manager RFC PATCH 0/3] Add support for enabling Secure Encrypted Virtualization in the GUI

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch set adds a checkbox on the memory details dialog which
will only be enabled on SEV compatible hardware and for guests
which were created with OVMF (UEFI) boot and q35 machine type. 

The intent of this patch set is not to attempt to expose all the
capabilities of AMD SEV which includes SEV, SEV-ES and most
recently SEV-SNP. Instead, it provides a minimal change in the
interface to enable the most basic capability. Other SEV features
not exposed in the interface can be added through the XML editor.

The decision to include this feature in virt-manager has not been
determined. These patches allow for a discussion on the merits of
including such a feature and if it is desired, whether this patch
set satisfies the basic requirements. See earlier comments on this
topic here,
