# Release Notes for v0.3.0
Release Date: TBD
Code Freeze: TBD
Please see the [quickstart guide](../quickstart.md) for details on how to try out Confidential Containers
## What's new
## Hardware Support
Confidential Containers is tested with attestation on the following platforms:
- Intel TDX
- AMD SEV
The following platforms are untested or partially supported:
- Intel SGX
- AMD SEV-ES
- IBM Z SE
The following platforms are in development:
- AMD SEV-SNP
## Limitations
The following are known limitations of this release:
- Platform support is currently limited, and rapidly changing
* s390x is not supported by the CoCo operator
* AMD SEV-ES has not been tested.
* AMD SEV does not support container image signature validation.
* s390x does not support cosign signature validation
- SELinux is not supported on the host and must be set to permissive if in use.
- Attestation and key brokering support is still under development
* The disk-based key broker client (KBC) is used for non-tee testing, but is not suitable for production, except with encrypted VM images.
* Currently, there are two KBS that can be used:
- simple-kbs: simple key broker service (KBS) for SEV(-ES).
- [Verdictd](https://github.com/inclavare-containers/verdictd): An external project with which Attestation Agent can conduct remote attestation communication and key acquisition via EAA KBC
* The full-featured generic KBS and the corresponding KBC are still in the development stage.
* For developers, other KBCs can be experimented with.
* AMD SEV must use a KBS even for unencrypted images.
- The format of encrypted container images is still subject to change
* The oci-crypt container image format itself may still change
* The tools to generate images are not in their final form
* The image format itself is subject to change in upcoming releases
* Image repository support for encrypted images is unequal
- CoCo currently requires a custom build of `containerd`
* The CoCo operator will deploy the correct version of `containerd` for you
* Changes are required to delegate `PullImage` to the agent in the virtual machine
* The required changes are not part of the vanilla `containerd`
* The final form of the required changes in `containerd` is expected to be different
* `crio` is not supported
- CoCo is not fully integrated with the orchestration ecosystem (Kubernetes, OpenShift)
* OpenShift is a non-starter at the moment due to its dependency on [CRI-O](https://github.com/cri-o/cri-o)
* Existing APIs do not fully support the CoCo security and threat model. [More info](https://github.com/confidential-containers/community/issues/53)
* Some commands accessing confidential data, such as `kubectl exec`, may either fail to work, or incorrectly expose information to the host
* Container image sharing is not possible in this release
* Container images are downloaded by the guest (with encryption), not by the host
* As a result, the same image will be downloaded separately by every pod using it, not shared between pods on the same host. [More info](https://github.com/confidential-containers/community/issues/66)
- The CoCo community aspires to adopting open source security best practices, but not all practices are adopted yet.
* We track our status with the OpenSSF Best Practices Badge, which increased to 46% at the time of this release.
* The main gaps are in test coverage, both general and security tests.
* Vulnerability reporting mechanisms also need to be created. Public github issues are still appropriate for this release until private reporting is established.
