Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for managing assets, such as virtual assets, in a computing system implemented with distributed virtual infrastructure. In one example, a method comprises the following steps. Operational information associated with a plurality of virtual assets in a data center is obtained in a trusted manner. The data center is implemented via a distributed virtual infrastructure. At least a portion of the operational information for at least a portion of the plurality of virtual assets in the data center is reported. The operational information reported is operational information pertaining to one or more virtual assets that the data center provides for a tenant of the data center. The obtaining and reporting steps are performed by at least one processing device operating as a virtual asset manager operatively coupled to the distributed virtual infrastructure.
