The following content summarizes key networking capabilities for each version of the Nitro System. Versions are shown in descending version release order. If you know the instance type family that your instance belongs to, you can expand the Specifications section and select your instance family.

3 days ago - The Nitro Hypervisor is a lightweight hypervisor that manages memory and CPU allocation and delivers performance that is indistinguishable from bare metal. AWS Nitro Enclaves enables customers to create isolated compute environments to further protect and securely process highly sensitive data ...

This section describes the secure boot design for the Nitro Controller as implemented in the most recent versions of the hardware and its role as the trusted interface between a server and the network. In the case of AWS Outpost deployments, a Nitro Security Key is also used along with a TPM and the secure boot features of the SoC to protect the encryption key for the SSD, which is connected directly to the Nitro Controller.

AWS Nitro Enclaves is an Amazon EC2 feature that allows you to create isolated execution environments, called enclaves, from Amazon EC2 instances. Enclaves are separate, hardened, and highly-constrained virtual machines. They provide only secure local socket connectivity with their parent instance.

This is v6 submission for AWS Nitro Enclave emulation in QEMU. From the QEMU side the implementation for nitro enclaves is complete.

June 6, 2022 - With this launch, Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) now allows you to create IPv6-only subnets in your dual-stack VPCs and launch EC2 instances built on the Nitro System in these subnets.

3 days ago - Furthermore, because many components of Nitro Enclaves are open sourced, customer can even inspect the code and validate it themselves. Customers can now isolate and use private keys (e.g. SSL/TLS) in an enclave, while preventing users, applications, and libraries on the parent instance from viewing those keys. Normally, these private keys are stored on the EC2 instance in plain text. AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) for Nitro Enclaves is an enclave application that allows you to use public and private SSL/TLS certificates with your web applications and servers running on Amazon EC2 instances with AWS Nitro Enclaves.

December 3, 2021 - First, the data plane is offloaded to the Nitro card as well as the end-to-end encryption. One of the key capabilities here is that the Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) is presented by the Nitro card. This ENA can scale from 10Gbps to 100Gbps on the same driver to help in portability in AWS’s cloud.

Saidi discusses how Nitro's purpose-built chips and modular design have enabled AWS to improve security, performance, and innovation in cloud computing. Key topics include the benefits of custom silicon, the architecture of Nitro cards and controllers, and how Nitro enhances networking, storage, and overall system security.

April 13, 2022 - Unsurprisingly, a common question when moving a workload to AWS is what performance difference there may be from an existing on-premises “bare metal” platform. This blog will show the performance differential between “bare metal” instances and instances that use the AWS Nitro hypervisor is negligible for the evaluated HPC workloads.

provides a lightweight VMM, while offloading other functions such as those previously performed by the device-models in Dom0 into a set of discrete Nitro Cards.

September 14, 2020 - For example, I3 bare metal instances enable VMware to run their full Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) stack, including the ESXi hypervisor, directly on AWS managed infrastructure. So what does this all mean for our customers? Better performance and price, enhanced security, and a faster pace of innovation. With the Nitro System, EC2 performs better across CPU, networking, and storage because we moved those functions into dedicated Nitro cards.

Understand performance considerations for Nitro based Amazon EC2 instances.

This whitepaper provides a detailed description of the security design of the Nitro System to assist you in evaluating EC2 for your sensitive workloads. Every day, customers around the world entrust Amazon Web Services (AWS) with their most sensitive applications.

Before Nitro .

This repository contains a collection of tools and commands used for managing the lifecycle of enclaves. The Nitro CLI needs to be installed on the parent instance, and it can be used to start, manage, and terminate enclaves.
