Generally described, physical computing devices in a virtual network can be configured to host a number of virtual machine instances. The physical computing devices can be operably coupled with offload devices. In accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure, a security component can be incorporated into an offload device. The security component can be a physical device including a microprocessor and storage. The security component can include a set of instructions configured to validate an operational configuration of the offload device or the physical computing device to establish that they are configured in accordance with a secure or trusted configuration. In one example, a first security component on the offload device can validate the operational computing environment on the offload device and a second security component on the physical computing device can validate the operational computing environment on the physical computing device.
An offload device configured to be communicatively coupled to a host computing device via a hardware interconnect interface, the offload device comprising:
A computing implemented method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions that configure an offload computing device to perform operations comprising:
