Secure execution environment services
Techniques for managing secure execution environments provided as a service to computing resource service provider customers are described herein. A request to launch a secure execution environment is received from a customer and fulfilled by launching a secure execution environment on a selected computer system. The secure execution environment is then validated and upon a successful validation, one or more applications are provided to the secure execution environment to be executed within the secure execution environment. As additional requests relating to managing the secure execution environment are received, operations are performed based on the requests.
