Process Containment using Virtual Machines
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper introduces various techniques and levels of virtualization and their effort in achieving process containment. Virtual machines have evolved since the 1960’s when they were initially researched, and after two decades of hibernation virtual machines are making a strong comeback. Introduced in this paper are three types of virtualization techniques: hardware-level, operating system-level and high language-level virtualization. Each level has a distinct approach in solving the isolation problem.

Analytical evaluation of an innovative decision-making algorithm for VM live migration
In order to achieve the virtual machines live migration, the two "pre-copy" and "post-copy" strategies are presented. Each of these strategies, depending on the operating conditions of the machine, may perform better than the other. In this article, a new algorithm is presented that automatically decides how the virtual machine live migration takes place. In this approach, the virtual machine m...
متن کاملA Near Optimal Approach in Choosing The Appropriate Physical Machines for Live Virtual Machines Migration in Cloud Computing
Migration of Virtual Machine (VM) is a critical challenge in cloud computing. The process to move VMs or applications from one Physical Machine (PM) to another is known as VM migration. In VM migration several issues should be considered. One of the major issues in VM migration problem is selecting an appropriate PM as a destination for a migrating VM. To face this issue, several approaches are...
متن کاملPaladin: Automated Detection and Containment of Rootkit Attacks
Rootkit attacks are a serious threat to computer systems. Packaged with other malware like worms, viruses and spyware, rootkits pose a more potent threat than ever before by allowing the malware to evade detection. In the absence of appropriate tools to counter such attacks, compromised machines stay undetected for extended periods of time. Leveraging virtual machine technology, we propose a so...

متن کاملA Dissertation Submitted to the Department of Computer Science and the Committee on Graduate Studies of Stanford University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
Current shared-memory multiprocessors suffer from an inherent fragility, since a single hardware or system software failure can cause the entire machine to crash. This dissertation describes a combination of hardware and software techniques that can be used to provide fault containment for large-scale shared memory machines. With fault containment, the impact of a fault remains limited to only ...
