Abstract

In a virtualized computer system, gray applications that are selected to be executed in a first virtual computing instance are executed and monitored in a second virtual computing instance that is a clone of the first virtual computing instance, and classified according to their monitored behavior. This process is conducted in real-time, in response to a notification that a gray application has been selected for execution in the first virtual computing instance. The execution of the gray application in the first virtual computing instance is delayed until the first virtual computing instance receives a notification from an application admission control manager that the gray application is safe to be executed in the first virtual computing instance. Although the execution of the gray application in the first virtual computing instance is delayed, all other processes running in the first virtual computing instance continue to their execution so that a user accessing the first virtual computing instance will not experience any downtime.
