Abstract
A computing device executes a virtual machine that provides a service to a client. The computing device monitors one or more conditions associated with at least one of the virtual machine or the client. The computing device receives a data packet from the client, wherein the data packet is addressed to the virtual machine. The computing device determines, based on the one or more conditions, whether to route the data packet from the client through a virtual appliance before sending the data packet to the virtual machine.
