## Cloud Vendors

Today there is no cloud vendor that allows the execution of Intel SGX enclaves in their environment. Both [AWS](https://github.com/ayeks/SGX-hardware/issues/37) and [Google](https://github.com/ayeks/SGX-hardware/issues/38) have CPUs that capable of SGX but the execution is disabled. We discussed that into detail [here](https://github.com/ayeks/SGX-hardware/issues/37). According to a [Intel forum post](https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-software-guard-extensions-intel-sgx/topic/755636) Azure discontinued their SGX program also.

The last hope for SGX in the cloud is the [IBM Bluemix Cloud Data Guard](https://www.ibm.com/blogs/bluemix/2017/12/data-use-protection-ibm-cloud-ibm-intel-fortanix-partner-keep-enterprises-secure-core/). Feel free to sign up [here](https://www.ibmdataguard.com/request.html) and please report back to us if you are able to execute SGX in their environment.


## Test SGX

You can check if SGX is enabled on you system with the test_sgx.c. Just compile and run it:
