Security application for a guest operating system in a virtual computing environment

摘要

Hypervisors and guest operating systems/virtual machines communicate in virtual environments to enable applications and other services. Security measures are a concern in implementing a secure environment. One feature may include at least one of identifying a session initiation request from a guest operation system at a hypervisor component of a server and receiving periodic messages from the guest operating system, and establishing and maintaining a session and connection between the hypervisor and the guest operating system responsive to receiving the periodic messages from the guest operating system.
