Microsoft Azure Attestation
Microsoft Azure Attestation is a security service designed to verify the trustworthiness of hardware components, specifically trusted platform modules and trusted execution environments. It helps organizations confirm that software is running on legitimate, secure hardware rather than tampered or untrusted systems. This verification process is essential for maintaining integrity in sensitive computing environments where hardware authenticity is critical for security compliance.
You should choose this service when you need to validate the integrity of specific hardware-based security features within your Azure infrastructure. Be aware that there is no free tier available for this service, meaning all usage will incur costs. The pricing model operates on a pay-as-you-go basis, so you will be billed based on the actual volume of attestation requests processed without any initial free allowance to offset expenses.
