Abstract
Systems and methods associated with virtual machine security are described herein. One example method includes instantiating a guest virtual machine in a virtual computing environment. The method also includes installing a life cycle agent on the guest virtual machine, assigning an identifying certificate, a set of policies, and an encryption key to the guest virtual machine, and providing the certificate, policies, and encryption key to the guest virtual machine. The certificate, policies, and encryption key may then be used by the guest virtual machine to authenticate itself within the virtual computing environment and to protect data stored on the guest virtual machine.
