Abstract: A method for virtual computing instance remediation is provided. Some embodiments include retrieving a first backup of a virtual machine from storage, the first backup comprising configuration information and data of the virtual machine, the configuration information comprising network connectivity information in a first software defined data center (SDDC) running on a first set of host machines. Some embodiments include configuring a second SDDC running on a second set of host machines based on the configuration information, where the second SDDC is network isolated from the first SDDC and powering on the virtual machine from the first backup in the second SDDC. Some embodiments include sending, from the virtual machine to a security platform, behavior information of the virtual machine running in the second SDDC and determining, based on the behavior information, whether the virtual machine running in the second SDDC is infected with malware.

Abstract: Examples perform concurrent execution of distributed workflows sharing common operations by a plurality of nodes, such as execution of recovery plans for disaster recovery of virtual machines operating on and off premises. Concurrent execution of identical operations that were part of a previously executed workflow are prevented, by evaluating the source of the workflow and whether the workflow has previously been initiated by that source. The disclosure is scalable to allow for new nodes to be included.
