Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for generating data provenance associated with a computing system. For example, a method comprises the following steps. Information associated with the execution of a given process in a given computing environment in accordance with a given process data set is captured. A provenance data set is generated based on the captured information. The generated provenance data set comprises one or more states associated with one or more execution components of the given computing environment that existed during execution of the given process, the one or more execution components comprising one or more virtual machines and one or more storage units. At least a portion of the generated provenance data set may be utilized to revert the computing environment back to the one or more states associated with the one or more execution components of the given computing environment that existed during the execution of the given process.
