    Abstract: Technologies for fast launch of trusted containers include a computing device having a trusted platform module (TPM). The computing device measures a container runtime with the TPM and executes the container runtime in response to the measurement. The computing device establishes a trust relationship between the TPM and a virtual platform credential, provisions the virtual platform credential to a virtual TPM, and executes a guest environment in response to provisioning the virtual platform credential. The computing device measures a containerized application with the virtual TPM and executes the containerized application in response to the measurement. The computing device may perform a trusted computing operation in the guest environment with the virtual TPM. The virtual TPM and the containerized application may be protected with multi-key total memory encryption (MKTME) support of the computing device. State of the virtual TPM may be encrypted and persisted. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Systems and methods that manage memory usage by a virtual machine are provided. These systems and methods compact the virtual machine's memory footprint, thereby promoting efficient use of memory and gaining performance benefits of increased data locality. In some embodiments, a guest operating system running within the virtual machine is enhanced to allocate its VM memory in a compact manner. The guest operating system includes a memory manager that is configured to reference an artificial access cost when identifying memory areas to allocate for use by applications. These access costs are described as being artificial because they are not representative of actual, hardware based access costs, but instead are fictitious costs that increase as the addresses of the memory areas increase. Because of these increasing artificial access costs, the memory manager identifies memory areas with lower addresses for allocation and use prior to memory areas with higher addresses.
