From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That's neat. Looks like that's more recent than my most recent experience doing cloud work, but fully support it.
When I left there was some anti-fraud work being discussed around snooping on everyone's executing processes to see who is doing bad things, and alerting when and if certain binaries were detected, and that was a little... gross.
Though, regardless of technical fixes, you're still at the mercy of politics, policies, and people not doing sketchy shit. And, I'd also bet that not all of the smaller cloud providers are going to be doing the work for TDX or SEV implementations, so there's still a big leap of trust you need of your provider, regardless of the existence of tech that could mitigate those issues.
