+# Confidential Compute (coco)
+
+Alioth supports booting confidential guests on the following platforms:
+
+- AMD-SEV [^sev]
+
+## AMD-SEV guest with Oak/Stage0 firmware
+
+WARNING: the current implementation takes QEMU [^qemu] as a reference and should
+be used in testing environments only.
+
+To launch an SEV guest,
+
+1. build the stage0 firmware from the Oak project[^stage0],
+2. prepare the guest Linux kernel of ELF format, the initramfs, and the kernel
+   command line in a text file,
+3. for SEV guests, `POLICY=0x1`, for SEV-ES guests, `POLICY=0x5`,
+4. launch the guest by
+   ```bash
+   ./alioth run -f /path/to/oak_stage0.bin \
+       --mem-size 1G \
+       --num-cpu 2 \
+       --fw-cfg name=opt/stage0/elf_kernel,file=/path/to/elf_kernel \
+       --fw-cfg name=opt/stage0/initramfs,file=/path/to/initramfs \
+       --fw-cfg name=opt/stage0/cmdline,file=/path/to/cmdline.txt \
+       --coco sev,policy=$POLICY
+   ```
