Abstract
Disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for dynamically analyzing and enrolling virtualized execution instances. Techniques include identifying a request for enrollment for a virtualized execution instance configured to be deployed on a host in a virtual computing environment, the request including a result of a privileged configuration inspection for the virtualized execution instance; determining, based on the result of the privileged configuration inspection, to automatically enroll the virtualized execution instance; and including the virtualized execution instance in a group of enrolled virtualized execution instances, the group being available for secure communications with one or more clients in a manner that is isolated from the host.
