Abstract

A method for securing the movement of virtual machines (VMs) between hosts. The method includes obtaining a first VM movement request; in response to obtaining the first VM movement request, identifying a first VM of the VMs and a first targeted host of the hosts associated with the first VM movement request using VM metadata and host metadata; making a first determination that the first targeted host is registered; in response to making the first determination, initiating the movement of the first VM to the first targeted host; and initiating, after the movement of the first VM, encryption of communication between the first VM and the first targeted host.
