Core Concepts

This section of the documentation provides a comprehensive overview of several fundamental concepts that are essential to understanding and effectively using OBLV Deploy.

Overview

Each of these core concepts plays a vital role in building a robust, scalable, and secure application environment. By familiarising yourself with these topics, you can better leverage OBLV Deploy to build and maintain efficient and secure systems.

Confidential Computing

Confidential computing is a security enhancement that protects data in use by performing computation in a hardware-based Trusted Execution Environment. This approach ensures that sensitive data is encrypted even while being processed, mitigating risks from unauthorised access or leaks during runtime.

AWS Nitro Enclaves

AWS Nitro Enclaves extend the security boundaries of confidential computing by providing isolated compute environments within Amazon EC2 instances. These enclaves help safeguard sensitive data, ensuring it remains inaccessible to other users and systems, including those with administrative privileges.

Kubernetes

Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerised applications. It groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery.
