FAQs

What is a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) and how does Phala Cloud use it?

A TEE is a secure area within a processor that protects code and data with hardware-level isolation. Phala Cloud leverages TEEs to ensure sensitive AI operations are performed in an environment inaccessible to the OS or other applications, providing robust data protection for confidential AI.

What are the performance implications of using Phala Cloud's confidential AI?

Phala Cloud's confidential AI platform typically adds only a 5-10% performance overhead compared to standard AI deployments. This minimal trade-off allows users to achieve enterprise-grade security and 100% privacy while maintaining nearly native performance for their AI workloads.

How can I verify the security of my AI workloads on Phala Cloud?

Phala Cloud provides cryptographic attestations that allow users to verify the integrity of their AI workloads in real-time. This ensures that your AI models are running in a genuine secure environment, providing transparency and trust in the confidential computing process.

Does Phala Cloud support existing AI frameworks?

Yes, Phala Cloud is compatible with popular AI frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Hugging Face. This allows users to seamlessly run their existing AI models with the enhanced security and privacy features offered by the platform.

What are the pricing components for Phala Cloud services?

Phala Cloud's pricing consists of two main components: Compute and Storage. Compute is billed per minute based on the instance type and only charged while running. Storage is charged at $0.10/GB/month as long as the Confidential VM exists, whether running or stopped.
