Abstract
A method of operating a virtual computing system includes receiving at a security controller security data corresponding to a candidate virtual machine that is proposed to be included in a virtualization environment managed by a virtualization environment manager, comparing the security data of the candidate virtual machine to security data of other virtual machines in the virtualization environment, and in response to the comparison, recommending that the virtualization environment manager exclude the candidate virtual machine from the virtualization environment. Related systems and computer program products are disclosed.
