Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for dynamic protection of a master operating system image are provided. Embodiments include monitoring, by an image deployment monitor, an operational state of a deployed copy of a master operating system (OS) image; detecting, by the image deployment monitor, a change in the operational state of the deployed copy of the master OS image; in response to detecting the change, generating, by the image deployment monitor, a configuration recommendation to prevent the change from occurring in operational states of future deployed copies of the master OS image; and providing, by the image deployment monitor, the configuration recommendation to the master OS image.
