Apparatus and method for updating internet-based malware detection engine using scaling control of virtual machine

Abstract

Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for updating an Internet-based malware detection engine using virtual machine scaling. The method may include creating a scaling group and an update group set based on a first virtual machine image, creating a second virtual machine image for a running virtual machine in response to occurrence of a snapshot event in the virtual update group run based on the first virtual machine image, modifying the scale-out image of the scaling group to the second virtual machine image, updating the scaling group by triggering a scale-out event and a scale-in event in the scaling group in response to occurrence of an update event, and modifying the scale-in image of the scaling group to the second virtual machine image.
