+# Vsock Communication Sample
+
+A hello-world example for Nitro Enclaves vsock server and client communication.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. The `vsock-sample` is a Nitro Enclaves application that can be run either
+as a server or a client. The client sends the “Hello, world!” message to the
+server. The server receives the message and prints it to the standard output.
+
+2. The sample is written and tested in Go 1.19. Any Go version 1.17+ should work with this example (as the vsock package dependency is written in 1.17).
+
+## How to use the enclave as the server and the parent instance as the client
+
+1. Build the Enclave Image File (EIF) starting from the `Dockerfile.server` file
+in this directory. We chose to use a multi-stage build to build the Docker image
+from *go-alpine* and then deploy the application using a *scratch* image to keep
+the enclave image as small as possible, but you can also use other Docker images.
+
+__Note__: You can use any other port number besides 5005 by modifying the command
+inside the `Dockerfile.server` file.
+
+```
+docker build -t vsock-sample-server -f Dockerfile.server .
+nitro-cli build-enclave --docker-uri vsock-sample-server --output-file vsock_sample_server.eif
+```
+
+2. Configure the pool of memory and vCPUs (the `nitro-cli-config` script can be used)
+and run the enclave using the previously-built EIF.
+
+```
+// 1 vCPUs and 128 MiB memory
+nitro-cli-config -t 1 -m 128
+nitro-cli run-enclave --eif-path vsock_sample_server.eif --cpu-count 1 --memory 128 --debug-mode
+```
+
+3. Connect to the enclave console using `nitro-cli`.
+
+```
+nitro-cli console --enclave-id $ENCLAVE_ID
+```
+
+4. In another terminal, build and run the client.
+
+```
+docker build -t vsock-sample-client -f Dockerfile.client .
+docker run -it --rm vsock-sample-client -cid $ENCLAVE_CID -port 5005
+```
+
+__Note__: Here `$ENCLAVE_CID` is a generated integer value (e.g. 16) of the enclave CID.
+
+5. The enclave console output should look like this:
+
+```
+[    0.051633] rtc-pl031 40002000.rtc: setting system clock to 2022-12-08 20:21:47 UTC (1670530907)
+[    0.052366] Freeing unused kernel memory: 512K
+[    0.056733] nsm: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.
+[    0.057098] nsm: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel

+[    0.059766] NSM RNG: returning rand bytes = 128
+[    0.060030] random: crng init done
+Listening on :5005
+2022/12/08 20:22:43 [INFO]: Hello, world!
+```
+
+## How to use the parent instance as the server and the enclave as the client
+
+1. Build the Enclave Image File (EIF) starting from the `Dockerfile.client` file
+in this directory. We chose to use a multi-stage build to build the Docker image
+from *go-alpine* and then deploy the application using a *scratch* image to keep
+the enclave image as small as possible, but you can also use other Docker images.
+
+__Notes__:
+* The value 3 is the CID of the parent instance
+* You can use any other port number besides 5005 by modifying the command inside the Dockerfile.client file
+
+```
+docker build -t vsock-sample-client -f Dockerfile.client .
+```
+
+```
+nitro-cli build-enclave --docker-uri vsock-sample-client --output-file vsock_sample_client.eif
+```
+
+2. Build and run the server inside the parent instance.
+
+```
+docker build -t vsock-sample-server -f Dockerfile.server .
+docker run -itd --name vsock-sample-server vsock-sample-server
+```
+
+3. Configure the pool of memory and vCPUs (the `nitro-cli-config`
+script can be used) and run the enclave using the built EIF.
+
+```
+// 2 vCPUs and 128 MiB memory
+nitro-cli-config -t 1 -m 128
+nitro-cli run-enclave --eif-path vsock_sample_client.eif --cpu-count 1 --memory 128 --debug-mode
+```
+
+4. The server container output should print __Hello, world!__.
+
+```
+docker logs vsock-sample-server
+Listening on :5005
+[INFO]: Hello, world!
+```
+
+__Note__:
+* The client application inside the enclave sends the message once and then exits thus the enclave shall terminate.
+
+Now you can replace the client/server code with your own code.
