Abstract

A method includes receiving at a similarity arbitrator information about a security policy of a candidate virtual machine that is proposed to be included in a cluster of virtual machines, comparing the security policy of the candidate virtual machine to the security policies of a plurality of virtual machines in the cluster, and in response to the comparison, recommending that a virtualization environment manager exclude the candidate virtual machine from the cluster or include the candidate virtual machine in the cluster. Related systems and computer program products are also disclosed.
