Abstract
A method for restricting resources consumed by a ghost agent can include the step of identifying a host, which is a software object operating within the grid environment and movable from one grid to another grid within the grid environment. The method also can include the step of associating a ghost agent with the host. The ghost agent is configured to replicate and record at least one action of the host and follows the movement of the associated host. Additionally, the ghost agent can be registered with a ghost registry of the domain in which it is disposed. Once registered, a containment policy for the domain can be received by the ghost agent. The ghost agent can be configured according to the received containment policy. The containment policy can be utilized to restrict resources that are available to the ghost agent.
