Managing virtual computing nodes using isolation and migration techniques

摘要

Systems and method for the management of virtual machine instances are provided. A network data transmission analysis system can use contextual information in the execution of virtual machine instances to isolate and migrate virtual machine instances onto physical computing devices. The contextual information may include information obtained in observing the execution of virtual machines instances, information obtained from requests submitted by users, such as system administrators. Still further, the network data transmission analysis system can also include information collection and retention for identified virtual machine instances.

主权项

1. A system for managing virtual machine instances comprising:
a processor; a first computing device, the first computing device hosting at least one virtual machine instance associated with a first set of virtual machine instances and at least one virtual machine instance associated with a second set of virtual machine instances, wherein a virtual machine instance is associated with a set of virtual machine instances by an affiliation to one of a plurality of users; a second computing device, the second computing device hosting at least one virtual machine instance associated with the first set of virtual machine instances; and a system manager executed on the processor, wherein the system manager is configured to:
determine an event based at least partly on a detected activity associated with execution of one or more of the first set of virtual machine instances;in response to the determined event, prevent instantiation of an additional virtual machine instance not associated with the first set of virtual machine instances on the first computing device hosting the at least one virtual machine instance associated with the first set of virtual machine instances;initiate the additional virtual machine instance on another computing device not hosting one or more of the first set of virtual machine instances;migrate virtual machine instances not associated with the one or more of the first set of virtual machine instances from the first computing device;initiate a new virtual machine instance associated with the first set of virtual machine instances on the first computing device; andmigrate the at least one virtual machine instance associated with the one or more of the first set of virtual machine instances from the second computing device to the first computing device.
