About this tag
Guest attestation is a security feature in Azure that verifies the integrity of virtual machines by confirming that Secure Boot, vTPM, and boot integrity monitoring are properly enabled.

The feature is part of Microsoft's broader effort to strengthen cloud security for enterprise IT environments, particularly for production workloads requiring compliance and threat protection.
