  • Deployment and installation of updates in a virtual environment
    Patent number: 9996374
    Abstract: An update is deployed to a guest virtual machine of a hypervisor during runtime of the guest virtual machine. An executing thread of the guest virtual machine is identified and execution of the thread is redirected to a function to open a handle to a file, of the guest virtual machine, to which data of the update is to be written. The data is provided to a component of the guest virtual machine, and then execution of the thread is redirected to a function to write the data provided to the component to the file.
    Type: Grant

  • Virtual machine introspection facilities
    Patent number: 9619346
    Abstract: Run-time, event-driven virtual machine introspection of the target guest virtual machine is facilitated as described herein. A component can specify events that are of interest to the component for introspection of a target guest virtual machine of a hypervisor. The hypervisor detects an introspection event generated by a target guest virtual machine and determines whether the introspection event is of interest for handling by a component coupled to the hypervisor. If so, the hypervisor alerts the component about the introspection event and provides information associated with the introspection event to the component. The component thereby receives notification of occurrence of the introspection event from the hypervisor and may obtain information associated with the introspection event.
