TPM Support for VMs
Given the state of the world, securing cloud infrastructure should be of paramount importance to any company that handles user data. To that end, it's important for Solus to support vTPMs in VMs, which are emulated Trusted Platform Modules capable of storing encryption keys and measuring certain states of the VM. Together with UEFI SecureBoot, a vTPM can make it harder for attackers to compromise a VM persistently, and it allows for fancy server image setups, such as using a verity-backed image which is authenticated at boot to ensure the installed OS has not been modified.
