Peer-aware self-regulation for virtualized environments

摘要

Technologies for self-regulation for virtualized environments may include, by a virtual machine on an electronic device, detecting an attempted anti-malware operation by a monitored module, determining anti-malware operation levels of one or more other virtual machines on the electronic device, and, based on the attempted anti-malware operation and upon the anti-malware operation levels, determining whether to allow the attempted operation.

主权项

1. A method for self-regulation of a virtualized environment, comprising:
by a first virtual machine on an electronic device:
detecting a first attempted anti-malware operation by a first monitored module; and first anti-malware operation levels of one or more other virtual machines on the electronic device; by a second virtual machine on the electronic device:
detecting a second attempted anti-malware operation by a second monitored module;determining second anti-malware operation levels of one or more other virtual machines on the electronic device;based on the second attempted anti-malware operation and upon the second anti-malware operation levels, determining whether to allow the second attempted anti-malware operation; andbroadcasting a second indication of whether the second attempted anti-malware operation was performed to the other virtual machines on the electronic device; and by the first virtual machine on the electronic device:
based on the first attempted anti-malware operation, the first anti-malware operation levels, and whether the second indication was received, determining whether to allow the first attempted anti-malware operation; andbroadcasting a first indication to the other virtual machines, the first indication to indicate whether the first attempted anti-malware operation was performed.
