Abstract
Some examples include a system, a computer program product, an apparatus, and the like, configured to perform operations to access, in response to a request by a first instance of an operating system, data stored in a memory of a kernel of a second instance of the operating system. The operations are further to determine whether the data stored in the memory of the kernel of the second instance of the operating system is in a data format that is compatible with the first instance of the operating system. The operations are further to provide the data in the data format that is compatible with the first instance of the operating system. For instance, in some examples, the operations are to determine that the data is in a format incompatible with the first instance of the operating system, and reformat the data in the data format compatible with the first instance of the operating system.
