- (gibi): Should we have a short status section about the two confidential computing (SNP, TDX) features on the agenda? How does this sound for the two authors: Anton, Hiroki?

- The SNP feature has a PoC patch series https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:%22devel-sevsnp%22 that I will start reviewing later this week. (but it needs a rebase)
