I think enclaves are a more practical near-term solution for data privacy, but they don't prevent Amazon from identifying successful businesses based on e.g. resource usage growth.

I don’t think the ‘enclaves’ concept addresses the root of the issue I was getting at, which is for there to be useful computation done on the data it must be unencrypted.
Even with ‘enclaves’, from what admittedly little I know about them, you still have to have the key to decrypt things on the machine somewhere, which means whoever is running that machine for you has access to your unencrypted data, and we’re back where we started.
