Description

Preview ETA: November 2026. Note: This is an estimate and is subject to change.

---

[Trusted Launch](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-machines/trusted-launch) improves the security of generation 2 virtual machines (VMs) by protecting against advanced and persistent attack techniques. It enables administrators to deploy AKS nodes, which contain the underlying virtual machines, with verified and signed bootloaders, OS kernels, and drivers. By using secure and measured boot, administrators gain insights and confidence of the entire boot chain's integrity.

**Feature Request:** Support [trusted launch](https://aka.ms/aks/trusted-launch) on windows node pools starting with Windows Server 2025.
