A system in which a virtual machine manager determines tasks that are to be performed on virtual machines executing on a host computing system. The host computing system further executes an intermediary virtual machine task management module that receives virtual machine tasks from the virtual machine manager. Upon request from the virtual machines, the intermediary module identifies the tasks that are to be performed on the requesting virtual machine to the requesting virtual machine. The virtual machines may perhaps also initiate the performance of such identified tasks. Since the virtual machine itself is initiating contact with the intermediary module, and is not interacting directly with the virtual machine manager, the virtual machine manager need not be in the same sphere of trust as the virtual machine. |
