Abstract
The present disclosure is related to systems and methods for protecting virtual computing instances. An example system can include a first virtual computing instance (VCI) deployed on a hypervisor and provisioned with a pool of physical computing resources. The hypervisor and the first VCI can operate according to a first configuration profile. The system can include a fault domain manager (FDM) running on a second VCI that is deployed on the hypervisor and provisioned by the pool of physical computing resources. The FDM can be configured to provide high availability support for the first VCI, and the FDM can operate according to a second configuration profile. The system can further include a hypervisor manager running on the second VCI. The hypervisor manager can be configured to facilitate interaction between the FDM and the hypervisor by translating between the first configuration profile and the second configuration profile.
