Nitro Enclaves uses the same Nitro Hypervisor technology that creates the CPU and memory isolation among EC2 instances, to create the isolation between an Enclave and an EC2 instance.

An enclave is created by partitioning the CPU and memory of an EC2 instance, called a parent instance. You can create enclaves with varying combinations of CPU cores and memory. Above is an example using m5.4xlarge split into a parent instance (14 vCPU, 32 GiB Memory) and Enclave (2 vCPU, 32 GiB Memory). Communication between the parent instance and the enclave is done via a secure local connection called vsock.

IoT malware attacks increase 30% this year, a total of 32.4 million worldwide, according to SonicWall Capture Labs. Most IoT devices were not designed with security as a priority, making them susceptible to attack and supplying perpetrators with numerous entry points.

Avnet Silica has launched the HoriZone RA development kit powered by Renesas RA microcontrollers, which is designed to enable proof-of-concept for secure edge-to-cloud IoT applications, equipped with security features for resource constrained embedded systems connected to Avnet’s IoT Connect cloud platform based on Microsoft Azure cloud.
