Examples of the disclosure are directed to password management of virtual machines in a virtual machine environment. A password can be obtained that corresponds to a virtual machine. The password can be associated with a password identifier that is generated independent of a storage location of the files associated with the virtual machine. An operating system password vault can be utilized that stores the password and password identifier.

Password management of virtual machines for migration support

In one example, a management node and an infrastructure node external to the management node may be identified in a cloud computing environment. The management node may execute a centralized management service and the external infrastructure node may execute a first infrastructure service that handles at least one infrastructure network function for the centralized management service. Further, a second infrastructure service may be deployed on the management node. Data in the first infrastructure service may be replicated to the second infrastructure service. Furthermore, the centralized management service in the management node may be repointed to the second infrastructure service such that the second infrastructure service is to operate within the management node.

System and method for embedding external infrastructure services into management nodes

In one example, a cloud computing environment may be probed to detect an actual topology including connectivity between infrastructure security nodes and management nodes. Each management node may execute a corresponding centralized management service. Each infrastructure security node may execute a corresponding infrastructure security service that handles at least one infrastructure security function. Further, a set of candidate topologies may be generated based on the actual topology. Each candidate topology may indicate a way to replicate the infrastructure security service into the management nodes. Furthermore, a replication partner associated with each of the management nodes may be determined based on a selection of one of the candidate topologies. An operation to deploy the infrastructure security service on the management nodes may be executed based on the selected one of the candidate topologies and the determined replication partners to form an embedded linked mode architecture.

System and method for embedding infrastructure security services into management nodes

In one example, a management service may be deployed in a first container. Further, a shadow service corresponding to the management service may be generated in the first container. Furthermore, network traffic may be routed to an active one of the management service and the shadow service, via a watchdog service in the first container, to provide high availability at a service level.
