Abstract
A method for managing virtual machine policy compliance. The method for restoring compliance of a virtual machine found to be non-compliant to a compliance rule may comprise detecting non-compliance of a virtual machine using a compliance agent, detaching the virtual machine from a network, creating a copy of a compliance repository volume, mounting the newly requested disk resource having stored the copy of the compliance repository volume, applying a remediation action to the virtual machine, and triggering by the compliance agent a compliance scan for ensuring that the virtual machine complies to the compliance rule.
