Abstract

Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for selected VM replication and VM restart techniques are provided herein. A method includes selecting a sub-set of one or more VMs from a set of multiple VMs in a system to be replicated before an identification of one or more failed VMs in the set of multiple VMs; replicating the sub-set of one or more VMs before the identification of one or more failed VMs in the set of multiple VMs; selecting a sub-set of the identified one or more failed VMs to be restarted upon an identification of the one or more failed VMs in the set of multiple VMs in the system; and restarting the sub-set of the identified one or more failed VMs upon the identification of the one or more failed virtual machines in the set of multiple VMs.
