Cloud Providers

Polaris can currently be deployed on Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure using their respective Confidential Computing services. In all cases, all resources are provisioned on the client's infrastructure and Fr0ntierX has no ability to access any data and services. All components of the provisioned stack are open-source and can be audited by the client.

Google Cloud Platform

When deploying Polaris on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), a Confidential Virtual Machine (CVM) is provisioned for every Polaris container. The VM is created using a public Polaris image that is based on the Google Container-Optimized OS and automatically starts the Polaris Proxy and the configured Client Workload. There are some limitations on the machine configurations that support Confidential Computing, please refer to the Google Cloud documentation for more information.

You can deploy Polaris on GCP using the Polaris VM offer in the Google Cloud Marketplace.

Microsot Azure

Polaris containers on Microsoft Azure are provisioned usng confidential Azure Container Instances. For each Polaris instance a confidential container groups is created containing separate containers for the Polaris Proxy and the Client Workload. Some limitations on the CPU count and memory size of the container instances apply, please refer to the Azure documentation for more information.

You can deploy Polaris on Azure as a Managed Application using the offer in the Azure Marketplace. The Managed Applicaiton is configured to give you full access on all resources, while access by Fr0ntierX to the resources is prohibited.
