Abstract
A method includes receiving a request at a hypervisor from an application, where the application and the hypervisor are executed by a computing node. The request identifies a memory location in a memory device of the computing node, and the memory location is associated with a virtual machine executed by the computing node. The method also includes obtaining a snapshot of contents of the memory location in the memory device, where the snapshot is obtained by the hypervisor directly from the memory device. The method further includes providing the snapshot to the application. The application could form part of a second virtual machine that is executed by the computing node.
