Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for a system that hardware locks a virtual machine to a host machine. The host machine can include a processor and a memory. A hypervisor can be stored in the memory that, when executed by the processor, causes the computing device to host one or more virtual machines. In addition, machine readable instructions stored in the memory that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to at least: receive a request to perform an operation on a virtual machine hosted by the hypervisor; evaluate the request to determine that the request complies with a policy; and in response to a determination that the request complies with the policy, cause the hypervisor to initiate the operation.
