Confidential VM does not support live migration. You can only enable Confidential Computing on a VM when you first create the instance. https://cloud.google.com/confidential-computing/confidential-vm/docs/creating-cvm-instance

Ha, this is like a 'spot the difference' puzzle, but for cloud security! C and E are definitely the answers that will keep the compliance team happy.

The question is asking for 2 answers, so I'd go with C and E. Confidential VMs might be overkill for this use case.

Yeah, managing the encryption keys outside of Google Cloud and using Customer Managed Encryption Keys seems like the way to go.

Confidential VMs might be too much for this workload, sticking with C and E is a safer bet.

Hmm, I think the answer is C and E. Maintaining full control of encryption keys is key here, and the Cloud External Key Manager and Customer Managed Encryption Keys options seem to cover that requirement.
