The sev-snp-launch crate provides a Rust-safe implementation of the AMD SEV
Secure Nested Paging Firmware (SNP) Linux launch APIs.
SEV-SNP Linux APIs
The Linux kernel exposes APIs for managing SEV-SNP enabled KVM virtual machines. This crate implements Rust-safe APIs for the KVM SEV-SNP launch API provided by Linux.
Remarks
Note that the linux kernel provides access to these APIs through a set
of ioctls that are meant to be called on device nodes (/dev/kvm and
/dev/sev, to be specific). As a result, these ioctls form the substrate
of the sev-snp-launch crate. Binaries that result from consumers of this crate
are expected to run as a process with the necessary privileges to interact with
the device nodes.
