Abstract:
1. A method for implementing a zero-trust policy in storage reports, the method comprising: constructing one or more workload management components for each of a plurality of guest operating systems using a hypervisor shim that requires no instrumentation on a participating pool member comprising any of the plurality of guest operating systems, thus providing constructed workload management components for implementing the zero trust policy; performing introspection of a guest memory having a guest memory layout; accepting an operating system (OS) memory map; comparing the guest memory layout with the OS memory map wherein, when the guest memory layout matches the OS memory map, the hypervisor shim uses the OS memory map to obtain one or more interested memory segments from the guest memory layout, wherein the one or more interested memory segments correspond to resource utilization; and using an OS corresponding to the OS memory map and using the one or more interested memory segments to perform data processing to monitor resource utilization.
