Abstract
One or more examples provide a method of transferring a virtual machine between a virtualized computing system and a cloud computing system that includes: establishing connection between a first resource in the virtualized computing system and a second resource in the cloud computing system to transfer files that implement the virtual machine from the first resource to the second resource; accessing, for transmission over the connection, data blocks on a storage device in the virtualized computing system that include the files; executing at least one compliance check on each of the data blocks using at least one compliance checker; and preventing each of the data blocks that fails a compliance check from being maintained in the cloud computing system.
