About Cocoon

Cocoon is a platform designed to run GPU workloads within confidential computing environments, leveraging Intel TDX (Trust Domain Extensions) technology. It provides hardware-level isolation and cryptographic proof of integrity, ensuring that workloads and data remain protected even from the cloud provider. Users can deploy certified TDX images and utilize encrypted storage, making it suitable for tasks that require high security and compliance, such as AI model training on sensitive data or processing confidential information. The platform appears to target developers and enterprises needing verifiable security guarantees for their GPU-accelerated computations.
