After the AMD Advancing AI Event yesterday where they launched [1]AMD 5th Gen EPYC processors , Instinct product updates, and [2]new high-end networking gear , they also put out a blog post to affirm their "commitment to open security technologies in the data center."
In the post yesterday (although it appears to have been back-ported to Monday or not otherwise appearing in their RSS feed until after yesterday's event), they were talking up their commitment to open security technologies. This is with the Open Compute Project's OCP Global Summit happening next week in San Jose, California.
Among their demonstrations for the OCP Global Summit to affirm their commitment are around AMD EPYC supply chain security, AMD Instinct platform security compliance, and more. With EPYC they'll be showing various security features in action, including integrity verification of the firmware components. Of course, that's one of the areas we love hearing about the most are vendors going more for open-source firmware components with the likes of OpenBMC, Coreboot, and some areas AMD has been actively working on such as with [3]open-source SEV firmware and most exciting is their [4]openSIL effort for eventually replacing AGESA. Last month was [5]their latest update on AMD openSIL delivery for those that missed it but would be interesting to see if any other openSIL news comes out of the OCP Global Summit.

And while on the matter of open-source firmware, just as I didn't have the chance to mention it in yesterday's AMD EPYC Turin articles, their new "Volcano" reference server is once again shipping with OpenBMC. Though shouldn't really be surprising at this stage given their Genoa and Siena reference platforms were also running with OpenBMC rather than a proprietary BMC firmware stack.
