Technologies for fast launch of trusted containers include a computing device having a trusted platform module (TPM). The computing device measures a container runtime with the TPM and executes the container runtime in response to the measurement. The computing device establishes a trust relationship between the TPM and a virtual platform credential, provisions the virtual platform credential to a virtual TPM, and executes a guest environment in response to provisioning the virtual platform credential. The computing device measures a containerized application with the virtual TPM and executes the containerized application in response to the measurement. The computing device may perform a trusted computing operation in the guest environment with the virtual TPM. The virtual TPM and the containerized application may be protected with multi-key total memory encryption (MKTME) support of the computing device. State of the virtual TPM may be encrypted and persisted. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
