Abstract
Techniques for hosting components of provider services within secure execution environments are described herein. Information associated with a request received at a control plane of a service is received at a secure execution environment and, based at least in part on that information, one or more tasks is determined that may be performed to respond to the request. A task of the one or more tasks is performed within the secure execution environment to generate a response to the request, the response is encrypted within the secure execution environment using a key stored within the secure execution environment and available to a component of a computer system, and the encrypted response is made available.
