Abstract
A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer program product for managing computer workloads with security policy enforcement. When a determination is made that a component in a data processing system has failed to meet processing requirements, a candidate host to where the component may be migrated based on performance considerations is identified. A first security policy associated with the component is compared to a second security policy associated with the candidate host to determine if the first security policy is equivalent to or stronger than the second security policy. Responsive to a determination that the first security policy is equivalent to or stronger than the second security policy, the component is migrated to the candidate host.
