That’s paranoid to the point of lunacy.

Azure for example has “confidential compute” that encrypts even the memory contents of the VM such that even their own engineers can’t access the contents.

As long as you don’t back up the disks and use HTTPS for pulls, I don’t see a realistic business risk.

If a cloud like Azure or AWS got caught stealing competitor code they’d be sued and immediately lose a huge chunk of their customers.

It makes zero business sense to do so.

PS: Microsoft employees have made public comments saying that they refuse to even look at some open source repository to avoid any risk of accidentally “contaminating” their own code with something that has an incompatible license.
