Azure-docs: Is vTPM Support Now Available?

[aakash-shah]

I realize this page indicates that vTPM (and SecureBoot) is not supported yet, but I am reading on some blogs that vTPM (and SecureBoot) is now available. Can you please clarify this? Here is where I read this:

Thanks!

@aakash-shah Thanks for the question! We are investigating and will update you shortly.

@aakash-shah Secure Boot is not available in Azure. It is something we are looking into however at this time it is still not supported. Hence, the doc from us is correct. If that changes we will be sure to update the doc accordingly.

@MicahMcKittrick-MSFT can you also confirm that vTPM is not supported in Nested Hyper-V on Azure? I would assume that is the case but we have a customer asking.

[dcbrown16]

@CHEEKATLAPRADEEP-MSFT @MicahMcKittrick-MSFT just want to confirm the additional question here, sorry.

[mimckitt]

Sorry for the delay. Will check on this today

@laurenhughes @cynthn would either of you know regarding vTPM?

[laurenhughes]

@dcbrown16, vTPM is not currently supported. Apologies for the confusion! Please feel free to comment again if you have any additional questions.

please-close

Thanks!

@laurenhughes our customer reports that they were able to enable vTPM through a nested Gen2 VM running in Hyper-V on an Azure Windows Server 2016 machine.
Does "not supported" in this case mean it might work but we are not going to support it if there are any failures? Or possibly that it looks enabled, but some technical aspect of Azure prevents it from functioning as expected?
I'm in Azure support and attempting to pin down the specifics of this support. You can contact me internally at v-dibr. Thanks!

@dcbrown16, we'll reach out internally, thanks!
