Abstract
A virtual machine (VM) is designated as a guarded VM so that restricted operations may not be performed on the VM without permission from the VM's owner. A request to perform at least one of the restricted operations on the VM is received. When the VM is a guarded VM, the request to perform at least one of the restricted operations on the VM is sent to the VM's owner. When the VM's owner at least partially approves the request, at least some of the restricted operations on the VM are enabled.
