ABSTRACT:
Every virtual machine (VM) deployed is a potential security pitfall, since it includes an operating system, applications, network connections and related resources that all run the risk of unauthorized or malicious access if they aren't properly configured. An upsurge in VM deployment without sufficient IT control can lead to resource bottlenecks and cost increases that can reduce or eliminate the benefits of virtualization.
This white paper by virtualization author and industry expert Anil Desai features a best practices checklist for taking control and preventing VM sprawl. He also addresses:
- Requirements for assessing and controlling your current environment
- Defining the roles, responsibilities and processes for a VM deployment policy
- How automated virtualization management can reduce the effort and cost of controlling VMs
