Abstract
An example system includes a memory, a processor in communication with the memory, and a hypervisor. The hypervisor is configured to store, as dirty memory, data from a virtual machine (VM) at least until the data is written back into a data storage. The hypervisor is also configured to assign a persistence setting for managing write back of the dirty memory of the VM into the data storage. The hypervisor is also configured to periodically trigger writing at least a portion of the dirty memory of the VM into the data storage based on the persistence setting being a first setting. The hypervisor is also configured to disable periodic triggering, by the hypervisor, of the writing of the dirty memory of the VM into the data storage based on the persistence setting being a second setting.
