Where to find FPGA validation file for Azure attestation?

Question

On the Azure FPGA attestation support website: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/field-programmable-gate-arrays-attestation, there is an instruction for validating the FPGA and starting attestation, however, this requires a file called: "validate-fpgaimage.sh", which is not linked anywhere. There is no explanation for where this file is, how to create it, or what it does. This would be very helpful to add as I do not know how I can attest my VM without this file. Thank you!

Answer 1

Hello @Andrew Wasielewski

The validate-fpgaimage.sh script is one of the validation scripts that you need to download from the following Azure storage blob container: https://fpgaattestation.blob.core.windows.net/validationscripts/validate.zip. The zip file has two PowerShell scripts, one to submit and the other to monitor while the third file is a bash script which performs both functions.

You can find more information on running the attestation scripts in the Azure FPGA Attestation Service document.

That should get you started.

@Andrew Wasielewski

Can you confirm you have already requested access and been approved? My understanding is that the scripts should be accessible once approved. Please let me know if you have been approved and are still not able to access the scripts and I can work with our service team.

You will need to have your tenant and subscription ID authorized to submit to the attestation service. Visit https://aka.ms/AzureFPGAAttestationPreview to request access.
