Abstract
In a method of operating a computing system, a disk image corresponding to a production managed machine is mounted on a service managed machine that performs operations distinct from those performed by the production managed machine in providing a computing service. The disk image is scanned at the service managed machine to determine a corrective action to be performed with respect to the disk image, and performance of the corrective action for the disk image of the production managed machine is initiated at the service managed machine. Related systems and computer program products are also discussed.
