MIGRATION OF A SECURITY POLICY OF A VIRTUAL MACHINE

摘要

According to an example, an apparatus for Virtual Machine (VM) security policy migration includes a migration detecting module, a locating module and a security policy managing module. The migration detecting module is to receive a VM migration report from a VM management apparatus, wherein the VM migration report includes a location parameter of a VM. The locating module is to determine, according to the location parameter of the VM and a locating function, an old security device and a new security device that the VM belongs to before and after the migration. If the old security device and the new security device are not the same security device, a notification is transmitted to the security policy managing module, and a security policy of the VM on the old security device is issued to the new security device.
