Deployment Guide: From POC to Production#
Congratulations on completing the Quick Start Guide! Now that you’ve verified that NVIDIA GPU attestation works in your environment, it’s time to prepare for a production deployment.
This guide will walk you through the essential steps to transition from proof-of-concept to production-ready attestation.
Overview#
Production deployment involves two key steps:
Set up NGC API keys - Configure secure access to NVIDIA attestation services
Choose and deploy your integration option - Select and implement the right attestation architecture for your needs
Step 1: Set Up NGC API Keys#
NGC (NVIDIA GPU Cloud) API keys provide authenticated access to NVIDIA’s attestation services. While this is currently an optional step, API key authentication will be required in the future for all production deployments.
We strongly recommend completing NGC onboarding now to:
Future-proof your deployment
Enable advanced features and enterprise support
Ensure uninterrupted service when authentication becomes mandatory
Access usage analytics and monitoring
Step 2: Choose Your Integration Option#
Selecting the Right Architecture#
NVIDIA attestation supports three integration options, each optimized for different use cases:
Remote Attestation - NVIDIA-managed cloud service (recommended for most production deployments)
Local Attestation - On-device verification (ideal for air-gapped or low-latency requirements)
Customer-Managed Attestation - Self-hosted enterprise solution (for strict compliance and control requirements)
