AWS has announced the general availability of EC2 instance attestation, a new security feature that allows customers to validate trusted software running on EC2 instances.
- Enables cryptographic verification of EC2 instance configurations
- Powered by Nitro Trusted Platform Module (NitroTPM) and Attestable Amazon Machine Images (AMIs)
- Allows customers to generate and verify cryptographic measurements of AMI contents
- Integrates with AWS Key Management Service (KMS) to restrict key operations

This feature provides enhanced security by allowing customers to confirm that only trusted software is running on their EC2 instances, particularly for instances with AI chips and GPUs.
