The patent US12045657B2 outlines a method and system for managing workload attestation and policy application in computing environments. The method involves a processor-based system that receives a workload attestation request from a workload creation node, which includes a workload specification. The system determines a workload profile based on this specification and identifies a corresponding policy from a policy database. An attestation identifier is then provided to the workload creation node, indicating the workload profile. Subsequently, the system receives a request for the policy from a controller node in a target environment, compiles the policy using the attestation identifier, and delivers it to the controller node for application in the target environment.

Additionally, the patent describes various functionalities related to policy management, including the ability to perform actions such as policy creation, validation, and updates. The system can also handle notifications regarding policy actions and provide updated attestation identifiers as needed. The workload can encompass various forms, including containers and virtual machines, and the workload specification may include details such as application ports and authentication modes. Furthermore, the patent specifies that the policies can be custom, environment-specific, or global, and it includes provisions for creating a dashboard interface to visualize the relationships between policies, workload profiles, and target environments.
